Respuesta :

Answer: 3.91

Explanation: We can calculate operating leverage by using following formula:-

[tex]operating\:leverage=\frac{contribution}{net\:income}[/tex]

where,

contribution = sales - variable cost

                     =  sales - ( variable cost of goods sold + supplies )

                     =  $52,260 - ( $26,260 + $5460)

                     = $20,540

Now, putting the values into equation we get :-

[tex]operating\:leverage=\frac{20,540}{5,240}[/tex]

                                          = 3.91
