Degree of Operating Leverage, Percent Change in Profit Ringsmith Company is considering two different processes to make its product-process 1 and process 2. Process 1 requires Ringsmith to manufacture subcomponents of the product in-house. As a result, materials are less expensive, but fixed overhead is higher. Process 2 involves purchasing all subcomponents from outside suppliers. The direct materials costs are higher, but fixed factory overhead is considerably lower.
