Answer from: aurelio1121

Part 1

a) Sales price increases by $1.00 per cake

Sales price = 17 + 1

= 18 per cake

Variable cost = 2.50 + 1.40 + 0.20

= 4.10 per cake

Contribution margin = Sales price - Variable cost

= 18 - 4.10

= 13.90 per cake

Break even point = Fixed cost/Contribution margin

= 3,850/13.90

= 277 cakes

b) Fixed costs increase by $500 per month.

Fixed cost = 3,850 + 500

= 4,350

Variable cost = 2.50 + 1.40 + 0.20

= 4.10 per cake

Contribution margin = Sales price - Variable cost

= 17 - 4.10

= 12.90 per cake

Break even point = Fixed cost/Contribution margin

= 4,350/12.90

= 337 cakes

c) Variable costs decrease by $0.35 per cake

Variable cost = 4.10 - 0.35

= 3.75 per cake

Contribution margin = Sales price - Variable cost

= 17 - 3.75

= 13.25 per cake

Break even point = Fixed cost/Contribution margin

= 3,850/13.25

= 291 cakes

d) Sales price decreases by $0.50 per cake

Sales price = 17 - 0.50

= 16.50 per cake

Variable cost = 2.50 + 1.40 + 0.20

= 4.10 per cake

Contribution margin = Sales price - Variable cost

= 16.50 - 4.10

= 12.40 per cake

Break even point = Fixed cost/Contribution margin

= 3,850/12.40

= 310 cakes

Part 2

Degree of operating leverage = Contribution ÷ EBIT

Contribution margin = sales - variable expenses

= ( 400 × 17 ) - ( 400 × 4.10)

= 5160

EBIT = 5160 - fixed expenses

= 5160 - 3850

= 1310

Degree of operating leverage = 5160 ÷ 1310

= 3.94

Part 3

operating leverage = % change in EBIT ÷ % change in sales

3.94 = % increase in EBIT/10%

solve for % increase in EBIT, we get

% increase in EBIT = 39.4%
