Engberg company installs lawn sod in home yards. the company’s most recent monthly contribution format income statement follows: amount percent of sales sales $ 138,000 100 % variable expenses 55,200 40 % contribution margin 82,800 60 % fixed expenses 21,000 net operating income $ 61,800 required: 1. what is the company’s degree of operating leverage? 2. using the degree of operating leverage, estimate the impact on net operating income of a 13% increase in sales. 3. construct a new contribution format income statement for the company assuming a 13% increase in sales.

Contribution = 82,800

Net Operating Income = $61,800

Thus, operating Leverage = = 1.34

2. If Company's sales increase by 13% then contribution also increases by 13%,

Revised Contribution = $82,800 + 13% = $93,564

Revised net Operating income = $93,564 - $21,000 (Fixed Cost) = $72,564

Degree of operating leverage = = 1.29

3. Contribution format income statement:

Sales = $138,000 + 13% = $155,940

Less: Variable Cost 55,200 + 13% = $62,376

--------------------------------------------------

Contribution = $93,564

Less: Fixed Cost = $21,000

--------------------------------------------------

Net Operating Income = $72,564

typically a loft will include modern kitchen and bathrooms, this increases the price tag. lofts also have a good amount of open space, this requires more heating and electricity. lofts are also in older buildings, this means that maintaining the location increases the bill. keep in mind this is without talking about the high state and property taxes.

i hope this you! : )
