    Explanation:

    Giving the following information:

    Sales in North Corporation increased from $60,000 per year to $63,000 per year while net operating income increased from $10,000 to $12,000.

    The degree of operating leverage is the %change in the operating income, divided by the change in sales. It measures how much of the operating income varies with changes in sales.

    degree of operating leverage = % change on income / % change on sales

    degree of operating leverage = [ (12,000 - 10,000) / 10,000] / [ (63,000 - 60,000) / 60,000]

    degree of operating leverage = 0.2 / 0.05 = 4
