Accounting

Joyce Murphy runs a courier service in downtown Seattle. She charges clients $0.59 per mile driven. Joyce has determined that if she
drives 3,100 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $979. If she drives 4,000 miles in a month, her total operating cost is $1,150.
Joyce has used the high-low method to determine that her monthly cost equation is total monthly cost =$390+$0.19 per mile driven.
Required:
Determine how many miles Joyce needs to drive to break even.
Calculate Joyce's degree of operating leverage if she drives 4,200 miles.
Suppose Joyce took a week off and her sales for the month decreased by 25 percent. Using the degree of operating leverage,
calculate the effect this will have on her profit for that month.
