39. Using the degree of leverage (DOL) for 2020 that you just calculated in question #38, if XYZ Company expects sales to increase 10% in 2021, by how much will the net income increase in 2021?
Q37 : $350,000
We know that breakeven sales is that sales value which gives net income = 0.
Net Income = Sales - Variable Cost - Fixed Cost.
To find the Breakeven Sales we equate net income = 0 in the above equation and solve for Sales. Hence we have the below as Variables Cost = 150000 and Fixed Cost = 200000
0 = Breakeven Sales - 150000 - 200000
0 = Breakeven Sales - 350000
Breakeven Sales = 350000
Hence breakeven sales = $350000
Q38 : 5.0
Degree of leverage(DOL) is given using below formula
For the given case this formula becomes
Hence degree of leverage is 5.0
Q39 : $25,000
The degree of leverage is 5.0. This means that for every 1% increase in Sales, the net income will increase by 5%. As the Sales increase by 10%, the net income will increase by 10*5 = 50%. As the current net income is 50000, the increase in net income is 50%*50000 = $25,000
