What is Operating Leverage?

The percentage of a company's cost structure that is made up of fixed expenses as opposed to variable costs is measured by operating leverage. A corporation is said to have more operating leverage if its fixed expenses are higher than its variable costs.

Magnitude of operating leverage= 4.5

Old sales= $100000

New sales= $110000

Percentage increase in sales:

(New-old)/old = (110,000-100,000)/100,000

                       = 10%

Consequently, a percentage rise in profit might be anticipated:

sales percentage growth times the degree of operational leverage

                        = 10% * 4.5

                        = 45%
