We are evaluating a project that costs $573,000, has a six-year life, and has no salvage value. Assume that depreciation is straight-line to zero over the life of the project. Sales are projected at 75,000 units per year. Price per unit is $46, variable cost per unit is $31, and fixed costs are $825,000 per year. What is the degree of operating leverage at the accounting break-even point?
A. 5.984
