Company A: $100,000/$50,000 = 2 Company B: $300,000/$50,000 = 6 Company A X = $50,000/(1 – 0.80) X = $50,000/0.20 X = $250,000
Company B X = $250,000/(1 – 0.40) X = $250,000/0.60 X = $416,667
Company B must sell more than Company A to break even because it must cover $200,000 more in fixed costs (it is more highly leveraged).
3. Company A: 2 ? 50% = 100% Company B: 6 ? 50% = 300%
The percentage increase in profits for Company B is much higher than Com-pany A’s increase because Company B has a higher degree of operating leve-rage (i.e., it has a larger amount of fixed costs in proportion to variable costs
as compared to Company A). Once fixed costs are covered, additional reve-nue must cover only variable costs, and 60 percent of Company B’s revenue above break-even is profit, whereas only 20 percent of Company A’s revenue above break-even is profit.
