depends on direct labor hours whereas production line B depends
cn machines hours. The following is a contribution format income

Net operating income | 10,000 10,000
Required:
@M Which production line has better cost structure if the sales
revenue is expected to exceed L.E. 100,000 by 10% in the
coming financial year.
(2) Which production line has better cost structure if the sales
revenue is expected to drop below L.E. 100,000 by 10% in the

Example:
You are provided with the following data related to contribution income
statement for RBC Company.
Actual sales
500 Bikes
Sales $ 250,000
Less: variable expenses 150,000
Contribution margin 100,000
Less: fixed expenses 80,000
Net income
Required:
1- Compute the degree of operating leverage.
2- If sales changed to be $275,000 instead of $250,000. Compute how much
net income (profit) will be.
Solution
1- Degree of
o $100,000
pera $20,000 = 5
Leverage
2- Percentage change in Sales = (275,000 — 250,000) + 250,000 = 10%
10% increase in sales (from 250,000 to 275,000) will result in an increase in the
Net Income by:
Percentage change in Sales x degree of Operating Leverage
10% x 5 =50%
Net income will be:
20,000 + (50% x 20,000) = $30,00022
Example :
XYZ company produced 500 bicycle with the following information:
selling price per unit $ 500
variable expenses per unit — $ 300
Fixed cost $ 80,000
Required :
1) Compute Operating Leverage ?
2) what will be the operating profit if the sales increased by 10% ?
Solution
500 unit
Sales ($500) 250,000
(-) Variable expenses ($300) (150,000)
= Contribution margin 100,000
(-) Fixed expenses 80,000
= Net operating income 20,000
. Contribution Margin
1) Operating Leverage=, ———_+—_.

while sales price for (Y) $9 and variable cost per unit $5. The company sells 2 units of (X) with one
unit of (Y), fixed cost $1000.
Required:
1) How many units sold from (X) to achieve breakeven point?
2) How many units sold from (X) and (Y) to achieve $1520 target profit?
