Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Last year's figures:

Sales = 32,400 games

Selling price per game = $67

Variable cost per game = $47

Fixed expenses = $567,000 per year

1-a. Contribution-Format Income Statement

For the last year ended December 31

Sales revenue          $2,170,000 (32,400 * $67)

Variable costs            1,522,800 (32,400 * $47)

Contribution               $647,200 (32,400 * $20)

Fixed expenses           567,000

Net operating income $80,200

1-b. Degree of Operating Leverage = Contribution/Net operating income

= $647,200/$80,200 = 8.07

2. Next year:

Sales = 41,796 games

Sales revenue =         $2,800,332 (41,796 * $67)

Variable cost =               1,964,412  (41,796 * $47)

Contribution =              $835,920

Fixed costs =                  567,000

Net operating income $268,920

The expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year

Increase in net operating income = $188,720 ($268,920 - $80,200)

= $188,720/$80,200 * 100 = 235.3%
