Degree of operating leverage = contribution / operating cash flow

   2.2 = contribution / 64000

   contribution = 2.2 *64000 = 140800            [contribution per unit = 140800/17000 = 8.28235]

Fixed cost = contribution -operating cash flow

                  = 140800 - 64000

                   = 76800

a)Contribution = 8.28235*18000= 149082.30

Operating cash flow = 149082.30 - 76800

                               = 72282.30

Degree of operating leverage at 18000 units = 149082.3 / 72282.30

                                         = 2.06

b)

Contribution = 8.28235*16000= 132517.6

Operating cash flow = 132517.6 - 76800

                               = 55717.6

Degree of operating leverage at 16000 units = 132517.6/55717.6

                                         = 2.38
