Calculation of Contribution:

Operating leverage formula :-

Operating leverage= contribution/EBIT

2.79= sales-variable cost/sales - variable cost-fixes cost

2.79(sales-variable cost-175,000)= sales-variable

2.79 sales- 2.79 variable cost-488,250 =sales-variable cost

1.79sales-1.79 variable cost= 488,250

1.79(sales-variable)= 488,250

1.79contribution = 488,250

Contribution= 488,250/1.79

Contribution=272,765.363

Contribution at 45,000 units is 272,765.363

Contribution at 43,000 = 43,000×272,765.363/45,000 = =260,642.459

Assumed that,Fixed cost doesn't change with units produced.

a) calculation of operating cash flows at 43,000 units:

operating cash flows = contribution- fixed cost

= 260,642.459 - 175,000

= 85,642.459.

b) calculation of degree of operating leverage:-

Operating leverage = contribution/ EBIT

= Contribution/ (contribution - fixed cost

= 260,642.459/85,642.459
