Answer:
1.50.
Explanation:
The magnitude of operating leverage is identifies the fixed cost of the company. The higher the fixed cost more will be the magnitude of operating leverage.
The magnitude of operating leverage can be determined from formula,
Contribution margin / Net operating Income
For contribution margin we use formula
CM = Net sales - Total Variable cost
Contribution Margin = $88,400 - $37,400 = $51,000
The Magnitude of Operating leverage is $51,000 / $34,000
= 1.50.
