Oslo Company prepared the following contribution format income statement based on a sales volume of 1,000 units (the relevant range of production is 500 units to 1,500 units): Sales $ 50,000 Variable expenses 27,500 Contribution margin 22,500 Fixed expenses 14,850 Net operating income $ 7,650 14. Assume that the amounts of the company’s total variable expenses and total fixed expenses were reversed. In other words, assume that the total variable expenses are $14,850 and the total fixed expenses are $27,500. Under this scenario and assuming that total sales remain the same, what is the degree of operating leverage?
