How do I solve this problem? Please yse as much detail as possible when explaining where the numbers come from.

Northwood Company manufactures basketballs. The company has a ball that sells for $25. At present, the ball is manufactured in a small piant that relies heavily on direct labor workers. Thus, variable expenses are high, totaling $15.00 per ball, of which 60% is direct labor cost Last year, the company sold 44.000 of these balls, with the following results: Sales (44,800 balls) Variable expenses Contribution margin Fixed expenses Net operating income $ 1,100,000 660.000 440, eee 317,600 $ 123,000 Required: 1. Compute (a) last year's CM ratio and the break-even point in balls, and (b) the degree of operating leverage at last year's sales level. 2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that next year's variable expenses will increase by $3.00 per ball. If this change takes place and the selling price per ball remains constant at $25.00, what will be next year's CM ratio and the break-even 3. Refer to the data in (2) above.

Refer to the original data. The company is discussing the construction of a new, automated manufacturing plant. The new plant would slash variable expenses per ball by 40.00%, but it would cause fixed expenses per year to double.
