Vicki sells authentic amish quilts on her website. suppose vicki expects to sell 1 comma 000 quilts during the coming year. her average sales price per quilt is $ 250, and her average cost per quilt is $ 150. her fixed expenses total $ 50 comma 000. compute vicki's operating leverage factor at an expected sales level of 1 comma 000 quilts. if sales volume increases 20%, by what percentage will her operating income change? prove your answer by calculating operating income at a sales volume of 1 comma 000 and at a sales volume of 1 comma 200.

2 operating leverage

An increase of 20% will convert into 40%

Prove:

increase in sale: 1,200 / 1,000 - 1 = 20%

increase in operating income: 70,000 / 50,000 - 1 = 40%

Explanation:

operating leverage:  contribution/profit

contribution: sales revenue - variable cost:

1,000 x (250 - 150) = 100,000

proft: contribution - fixed cost: 100,000 - 1,000 x 50 = 50,000

100,000 / 50,000 = 2 operating leverage

An increase of 20% will convert into 40% increase in the net operating income

1,200 x (250 - 150) -50,000 =  70,000

increase in sale: 1,200 / 1,000 - 1 = 20%

increasei noperating income: 70,000 / 50,000 - 1 = 40%
