    Instructions are listed below.

    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Selling price = $40 per unit.

    Variable expenses = $20.00 per unit

    Fixed expenses = $180,000 per year.

    Its operating results for last year were as follows:

    Sales $1,080,000

    Variable expenses 540,000

    Contribution margin 540,000

    Fixed expenses 180,000

    Net operating income $360,000

    A) Degree of operating leverage = Total contribution margin / (total contribution margin - total fixed costs)

    Degree of operating leverage = 540,000 / (540,000 - 180,000)

    Degree of operating leverage = 1.5

    B) Increase in sales = 10%

    Increase in contribution margin = 2,700*20 = 54,000

    Increase in income (%) = [ (414,000 - 360,000) / (360,000) ]*100 = 15%
