Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution margin/Net income
Manual System: $300000/$250000 = 1.20
Computerized System: $900000/$250000 = 3.60
Increase in sales = $150000/$1500000 = 0.1
Increase in Net income:
Manual System: $250000 x 0.1 x 1.20 = $30000
Computerized System: $250000 x 0.1 x 3.60 = $90000
Manual System:
Break-even sales = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio = $50000/20% = $250000
Contribution margin ratio = $300000/$1500000 = 20%
Margin of safety = Sales - Break-even sales = $1500000 - $250000 = $1250000
Margin of safety ratio = Margin of safety/Sales = $1250000/$1500000 = 0.83
Computerized System:
Break-even sales = Fixed costs/Contribution margin ratio = $650000/60% = $1083333.33
Contribution margin ratio = $900000/$1500000 = 60%
Margin of safety = Sales - Break-even sales = $1500000 - $1083333 = $416667
Margin of safety ratio = Margin of safety/Sales = $416667/$1500000 = 0.28
