Delta is considering changing to a new production process in 2022 from manufacturing the grinders. Highly automated and capital intensive, the new process will double fixed costs to N$400000 but will decrease variable costs to N$4 per unit. If the new equipment is financed with bonds, interest will increase by N$70000; if it is financed by common stock (ordinary shares), total stock outstanding will increase by 20000 shares.
Calculate the degree of operating leverage (DOL) for Delta Ltds 2020 level of sales to 1 decimal place
