Solution :

Q= $ 36000 P = $ 54 VC = $ 36 FC = $ 250,000 I = $ 80,000

a) Degree of operating leverage.

Q (P- VC) $ 36000 ( 54 - 36 )


DOL ͇ ͇
Q (P- VC) - FC $ 36000 ( 54 - 36 ) - $ 250,000

$ 36,000 ( 18 ) $648,000.00
͇
$ 36,000 (18) - $ 250,000 $ 648,000.00 - $ 250,000.00

$648,000.00

$318,000.00

c) Degree of combined leverage.

Q ( P- VC ) $ 36,000.00 (54-36)
DCL ͇ ͇
