a.
To calculate: The degree of operating leverage (DOL) of Harding Company.
Introduction:
Degree of operating leverage (DOL):
It is a multiple measurement ratio which determines the quantity of change in operating income of the company with the change in sales value.
b.
To calculate: The Degree of financial leverage (DFL) of Harding Company.
Introduction:
Degree of financial leverage (DFL):
DFL is a leverage ratio that evaluates the reaction of a company's EPS to the variations in its operating income, as a consequence of alterations in its capital structure.
c.
To calculate: The Degree of combined leverage (DCL) of Harding Company.
Introduction:
Degree of Combined Leverage (DOL):
It summarises the effect of the combination of both operating as well as financial leverages on a firm. It helps in determining the risk of any firm. A company with high DCL is considered more risky.
d.
To calculate: The break-even point (BEP) of Harding Company.
Introduction:

It is a point of sale at which a company is in a no

- If a firm has a contribution margin of $59,690 and a net income of $12,700 for the current month, what is their degree of operating leverage? A. 0.18 B. 1.18 C. 2.4 D. 4.7arrow_forwarda. Given the following graphs, calculate the total fixed costs, variable costs per unit, andsales price for Firm A. Firm B’s fixed costs are $120,000, its variable costs per unit are$4, and its sales price is $8 per unit.b. Which firm has the higher operating leverage at any given level of sales? Explain.c. At what sales level, in units, do both firms earn the same operating profit?arrow_forwardFor a certain company, the cost function for producing x items is C(x)=40x+200, and the revenue function for selling x items in R(x)=−0.5(x−80)2+3,200. The maximum capacity of the company is 110 items. The profit function P(x) is the revenue function R(x) (how much it takes in) minus the cost function C(x) (how much it spends). In economic models, one typically assumes that a company wants to maximize its profit, or at least make a profit!Assuming that the company sells all that it produces, what is the profit function?P(x)= Preview Change entry mode . Hint: Profit = Revenue - Cost as we examined in Discussion 3. What is the domain of P(x)?Hint: Does calculating P(x) make sense when x=−10 or x=1,000? The company can choose to produce either 40 or 50 items. What is their profit for each case, and which level of production should they choose?Profit when producing 40 items = Number Profit when producing 50 items = Number Can you explain, from our model, why the company makes less profit…arrow_forward
- U.S. Steal has the following income statement data: Units Sold Total Variable Costs Fixed Costs Total Costs Total Revenue Operating Income (Loss) 80,000 $ 160,000 $ 70,000 $ 230,000 $ 400,000 $ 170,000 100,000 200,000 70,000 270,000 500,000 230,000 The top row of the table has the beginning values and the bottom row of the table has the ending values. Compute the degree of operating leverage (DOL) based on the formula below. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. DOL = Percent change in operating income / Percent change in units sold Recompute DOL using the formula given below. There may be a slight difference due to rounding. Note: Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your final answer to 2 decimal places. DOL = Q(P − VC) / Q(P − VC) − FC Q represents beginning units sold (all calculations should be done at this level). P can be found by dividing total revenue by units sold. VC can be found by dividing total…arrow_forwardPeterson Manufacturing is evaluating two different operating structures which are described below.
