Answer:

Please see answers below.

Explanation:

1. The company's degree of operating leverage = Contribution ÷ Net operating income

Contribution = $85,800

Net operating income = $66,800

= $85,800 / $66,800

= 1.28

2. Impact on ney operating income of a 16% increase in sales

Revised contribution = $85,800 + 16%

= $85,800 + $13,728

= $99,528

Revised net operating income = $99,528 - $19,000(Fixed cost)

= $80,528

Degree of operating leverage = $99,528 / $80,528

= 1.24

3. Contribution format income statement ;

Sales $143,000 + 16% = $165,880
