1.Hotel’s cost structure Indications in percentage(%)
Revenue $ 2,000,000 (100)
Less: Variable expenses $ 1,300,000 65
--------------------
Contribution margin $700,000
Less: Fixed expenses $560,000 28
---------------------
Net income $140,000 7
2.Revenue declines by 30 percent
Revenue $ 1,400,000 [tex](2,000,000×70÷100)[/tex]
Less: Variable expenses $910,000 [tex]( 1,300,000 ×70÷100)[/tex]
---------------------
Contribution margin $490,000 [tex]( 700,000 ×70÷100)[/tex]
Less: Fixed expenses $392,000 [tex]( 5,60,000 ×70÷100)[/tex]
---------------------
Net income $98,000 [tex]( 140,000 ×70÷100))[/tex]
3.Operating leverage factor when revenue is $2,000,000
Operating leverage = Contribution/ Net income
[tex]=700,000÷ 140,000=5[/tex]
4.Operating leverage factor when increase in revenue by 25 percent
increase in revenue by 25 percent= [tex]2,000,000×25÷100 = 500,000[/tex]
increase in contribution by 25 percent= [tex]700,000×25÷100=175,000[/tex]
increase in net income by 25 percent =[tex]140,000×25÷100=35,000[/tex]
Operating leverage = Contribution/ Net income
[tex]= 875,000 ÷ 175,000 = 5[/tex]
