Answer:
a-1. 55,620 units
a-2. 9.34
Explanation:
a-1. The accounting break-even point is calculated by;
= (Fixed costs + Depreciation) / (Sales - Variable costs)
Depreciation = 714,400/8 = $89,300
Accounting breakeven = (745,000 + 89,300) / (51 - 36)
= 55,620 units
a-2. Degree of Operating Leverage
= 1 + (Fixed Costs/ Operating Cashflow)
= 1 + (745,000 / 89,300)
= 9.34
At this point, the only given Operating cashflow figure is Depreciation.
