Percentage change in revenue and profitability:

Percentage change in profitability=G.P(55candidates)G.P(50candidates)G.P. in (50candidates)=$17,000$15,000$15,000=13.33%

Hence, the percentage change in profitability is 13.33%.

Percentage change in revenue:

Percentage change in revenue=Revenue (55candidates)Revenue (50candidates)Revenue (50candidates)=$22,000$20,000$20,000=10%

Hence, the percentage change in profitability is 10%.

Percentage change in revenue and profitability:

Percentage change in profitability=G.P(50candidates)G.P(45candidates)G.P.(50candidates)=$15,000$13,000$15,000=13.33%

Hence, the percentage change in profitability is 13.33%.

Percentage change in revenue=Revenue (50candidates)Revenue in (45candidates)Revenue (50candidates)=$15,000$13,000$15,000=13.33%

Hence, the percentage change in profitability is 13.33%.

e.

To determine

The reason for 10% shift in enrollment produces more than 10% shift in profitability and the term identifies this phenomenon.

e.

Expert Solution
Check Mark

Explanation of Solution

The term which identifies these phenomena is operating leverage. This causes the percentage change in profitability to higher than the percentage change in revenue.

This is because that the fixed cost remains same and covered and there is no variable cost. So each additional dollar of revenue pays directly to the profitability.
