Answer:
b. 1.80x
Explanation:
The computation of the degree of operating leverage is shown below:
= (Contribution margin) ÷ (Contribution margin - Fixed manufacturing costs)

The (Sales - Variable costs) = Contribution margin
The (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs) = EBIT
By dividing the contribution margin by EBIT the degree of operating leverage (DOL) can come
