Summary Introduction
To determine: The degree of operating leverage.
Introduction:
Degree of operating leverage is a measure that indicates the sensitivity on the fixed cost of the project. It interprets that a company with more high operating leverage indicates higher fixed costs and vice versa.

(b) If A = 4 what is the Labor Demand Curve, ND(w), as a function of the real wage w?

Because of this strategy, you project that next year the firm will generate 6.0% revenue growth from price increases and 3.0% revenue growth from sales volume increases. Assume that the firms production cost structure involves strictly variable costs. (That is, the cost to produce each unit of product remains the same.) Should you project that the firms gross profit will increase next year? If you project that the gross profit will increase, is the increase a result of volume growth, price growth, or both? Should you project that the firms gross profit margin (gross profit divided by sales) will increase next year? If you project that the gross profit margin will increase, is the increase a result of volume growth, price growth, or both?arrow_forward(7.10) For a given level of output, DOL (increases/decreases/remains constant) as the size of the increase in Q increases. When the base level of Q increase, the DOL (increases/decreases/remains constant). A capital-intensive production process has a (higher/lower) DOL than a less capital-intensive process, so that OCF and NPV increase (more/less) rapidly with an increase in sales; if sales are below the forecasted level, then NPV decreases (more/less) rapidly for the capital-intensive process. goitsarrow_forward
