Answer:
= 1.73
Explanation:
For computation of degree of operating leverage first we will find out the operating income which is shown below:-
Particulars Amount
Sales $240,000 (3000 × $80)
Variable expenses $84,000 (240,000 × 35%)
Contribution margin $156,000
Fixed Costs $66,000
Operating income $90,000
Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin ÷ Operating income
= $156,000 ÷ $90,000
= 1.73
