Magic Realm, Incorporated, developed a new fantasy board game and sold $24,900$ units last year at a selling price of $$67$ per game.

Fixed expenses associated with the game are $$415,000$ per year, and variable expenses are $$47$ per game. Production of the game

was outsourced to a printing contractor, so variable expenses consist mostly of payments to this contractor.

Required:

$1-$a$.$ Prepare a contribution format income statement for the game last year.

$1-$b$.$ Compute the degree of operating leverage.

Management is confident that the company can sell $31,623$ games next year $($an increase of $6,723$ games, or $27\%,$ over last year$).$

Given this assumption:

a$.$ What is the expected percentage increase in net operating income for next year?

b$.$ What is the expected amount of net operating income for next year? $($Do not prepare an income statement; use the degree of

operating leverage to compute your answer.$)$

show me all the steps of how to solve these questions
