b. Break even point with increase in fixed costs - 354 units

c. Break even point with decrease in variable cost - 300 units

d. Break even point with decrease in sales price - 322 units

2. Degree of operating leverage 21.67

3. The change in profit caused by a 7 % increase in revenue is 3.1 times

Explanation:

Computation of break even point with an increase in sales price by $ 1.80 per cake

Sales price $ 14.21 + $ 1.80 = $ 16.01

Materials $ 2.16

Direct Labor $ 1.08

Indirect Material $ 0.17

Variable Costs per unit $ 3.41

Contribution margin $ 12.60

Fixed costs $ 3,348

Break even points $ 3,348/ $ 12.60 266 units

Computation of break even point with an increase in fixed costs by $ 470

Sales price $ 14.21 = $ 14.21

Materials $ 2.16

Direct Labor $ 1.08

Indirect Material $ 0.17

Variable Costs per unit $ 3.41

Contribution margin $ 10.80

Fixed costs ( $ 3,348 + 470) $ 3,718

Break even points $ 3,718/ $ 10.18 354 units

Computation of break even point with a decrease in variable costs by $ 0.37 per unit

Sales price $ 14.21 = $ 14.21

Materials ( $ 2.16 - $ 0.37) $ 1.79

Direct Labor $ 1.08

Indirect Material $ 0.17

Variable Costs per unit $ 3.04

Contribution margin $ 11.17

Fixed costs $ 3,348

Break even points $ 3,348/ $ 11.17 units 300 units

Computation of break even point with a decrease in sales price by $ 0.40 per cake

Sales price $ 14.21 -0.40 $ 13.81

Materials $ 2.16

Direct Labor $ 1.08

Indirect Material $ 0.17

Variable Costs per unit $ 3.41

Contribution margin $ 10.40

Fixed costs $ 3,348

Break even points $ 3,348/ $ 10.40 units 322 units

Computation of degree of operating leverage

Sales - 325 cakes at $ 14.21 per cake $ 4,618

Variable costs 325 cakes * $ 3.41 per cake $ 1,108

Contribution margin $ 3,510

Fixed costs $ 3,348

Operating income $ 162

Degree of operating leverage $ 3510/ $ 162 = 21.67 times

Computation of change in income by a change in sales revenue

Degree of operating leverage - 21.67 times

The change in net income is calculated by the formula

Degree in operating leverage = Change in operating income /change in sales

21.67/7= Change in Operating income

Change in operating income = 3.1 times
