Answer:

Part a

contribution format income statement

Sales                                                      $1,643,400

Less Variable Costs                             ($1,145,400)

Contribution                                            $498,000

Less Fixed Costs                                    ($415,000)

Net Income (Loss)                                    $83,000

Part b

6.00

Part c

See explanation

Part d

See explanation

Explanation:

Contribution Income Statement separates variable costs and fixed costs as shown above.

Degree of operating leverage =  Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

                                                   = $498,000 ÷ $83,000

                                                   = 6.00

Part c and Part d

Since there is missing information related to these parts here are the explanations.

The expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year.

Calculated by multiplying the percentage change in sales by the degree of operating leverage.
