ATech has fixed costs of $7 million and profits of $4 million. Its competitor, ZTech, is roughly the same size and this year earned the same profits, $4 million. But it operates with higher fixed costs of $8 million and lower variable costs. a. What is the degree of operating leverage (DOL) for each company

ATech 2.75

ZTech 3

Explanation:

Degree of operating leverage is denoted as ;

DOL = 1 + Fixed cost/Profit

According to the information above, profit for both companies is $4,000,000 whereas the fixed costs differ by $1,000,000

•ATech degree of operating leverage

= 1 + (7,000,000/4,000,000)

= 2.75

ZTech degree of operating leverage

= 1 + (8,000,000/4,000,000)

= 3

The above means that ATech would reach its break even before ZTech because the ratio of fixed cost to variable cost is lower for ATech compared to ZTech.

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!
