At a production level of 5000 units, the CLE is evaluated at 1.40. If production increases to 6,000 units, what will be the percentage change in cash flow from operations?
Sol;
Production = 5,000 units
CLE level = 1.40
Production increase = 6,000 units
To compute percentage change in cash flow from operations (OCF):
Sales percentage change = (Production increase - Production) / Production
Sales percentage change = (6,000 - 5,000) / 5,000 = 0.20 or 20%
CLE level = Percentage change in OCF / Sales percentage change
1.40 = Percentage change in OCF / 20%
Percentage change in OCF = 1.4 * 20% = 0.28%
Therefore percentage change in cash flow from operations will be 28%.
