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. Relevant data for a sales level of 38,000 units follow: Process 1 Sales Variable expenses $9,880,000 3,724,000 $6,156,000 3,563,180 Process 2 $9,880,000 5,472,000 $4,408,000 1,460,670 $2,947,330 Contribution margin Less total fixed expenses $2,592,820 Operating income Unit selling price Unit variable cost Unit contribution margin $260 $98 $162 $260 $144 $116 Required: 1.
