2. Compute the unit contribution margin in dollars and thecontribution margin ratio for one umbrella.
3. Calculate the break-even point in units and dollars ofrevenue.
4. Calculate the margin of safety:
In units
In sales dollars
As a percentage
5. Calculate the degree of operating leverage.
6. Assume that sales will increase by 20% in 2015. Calculate thepercentage of before-tax income for this increase. Providecalculations to prove that your percentage increase is correctbased on the operating leverage calculated in step 5.
