    2.4 and 12%

    Explanation:

    We have these dа ta:

    -contribution margin (CM) : $58,560

    -net income (NI) : $24,400

    -expected sales increase (ESI) : 5%

    -the degree of operating leverage (DoL) : ?

    -expected percent change in income (ECI) : ?

    DoL=CM/NI = 58560/24400 = 2.4

    The change in sales will have effect on the contribution margin, revenues and etc. But we have summarized formula to find the expected change on net income:

    ECI = ESI * DoL = 5 * 2.4 = 12%

    The expected net income increase will be 12 %
