Kulwicki Corporation wants to determine the effect of an expansion of its sales on its operating income $($EBIT$).$ The firm's current degree of operating leverage is $4\mathrm{.}50.$ It projects new unit sales to be $170,000,$ an increase of $45,000$ over last year's level of $125,000$ units. Last year's EBIT was $$60,000.$ Based on a degree of operating leverage of $4\mathrm{.}50,$ what is this year's expected EBIT with the increase in sales?
