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.
Summary Introduction
To determine: The sensitivity of change in the operating cash flow to operating cash flow.

Wally Garcia, the vice president for marketing at Benchmark, has concluded from his market analysis that sales are dwindling for Benchmark's standard table because of aggressive pricing by competitors. Benchmark's table sells for P875 whereas the competition's comparable table is selling in the P80Q range. Garcia has determined that dropping price to P800 is necessary to regain the firm's annual market share of 10,000 tables. Cost data based on sales of 10,000 tables are: Budgeted Amount 400,000 sq. ft. 85,000 hrs. 30,000 hrs 320,000 hrs. Actual Amount Actual Cost 425,000 sq. ft. 100,000 hrs. 30,000 hrs. 320,000 hrs.
