If sales increase by 16% operating income will increase by 22.88%

Engberg Company
Contribution income statement
Amount
Sales revenue $      147,320.00
Variable costs $         58,928.00
Contribution margin $         88,392.00
Fixed cost $         23,000.00
Net Operating income $         65,392.00

Working

Degree of operating leverage = Contribution margin /Net operating income
Degree of operating leverage = 76200/53200
Degree of operating leverage =                        1.43

.

Operating leverage = Change in operating income / Change in sales
Change in operating income = Operating leverage x Change in sales
Change in operating income = 1.43 x 16%
Change in operating income = 22.88%
