Question

Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units):

Sales	$	80,000
Variable expenses		52,000
Contribution margin		28,000
Fixed expenses		21,840
Net operating income	$	6,160

11. What is the margin of safety in dollars? What is the margin of safety percentage?

12. What is the degree of operating leverage? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

13. Using the degree of operating leverage, what is the estimated percent increase in net operating income of a 5% increase in sales? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)

14. Assume that the amounts of the company’s total variable expenses and total fixed expenses were reversed. In other words, assume that the total variable expenses are $21,840 and the total fixed expenses are $52,000. Under this scenario and assuming that total sales remain the same, what is the degree of operating leverage? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)

15. Assume that the amounts of the company’s total variable expenses and total fixed expenses were reversed. In other words, assume that the total variable expenses are $21,840 and the total fixed expenses are $52,000. Given this scenario and assuming that total sales remain the same. Using the degree of calculated operating leverage, what is the estimated percent increase in net operating income of a 5% increase in sales? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places.)
