Calculating Operating Leverage [LO4] At an output level of 53,000 units, you calculate that the degree of operating leverage is 3.21. If output rises to 57,000 units, what will the percentage change in operating cash flow be? Will the new level of operating leverage be higher or lower? Explain.

Assuming costs vary with sales and a 20 percent increase in sales is projected, create the pro forma income statement.
Create a pro forma Balance Sheet. All items will vary with sales.
What is the plug variable in order for this to balance?

new investment has projected sales of $585,000. Variable
costs are 44 percent of sales, and fixed costs are $187,000;
depreciation is $51,000. Prepare a pro forma income
statement assuming a tax rate of 21 percent. What is the
projected net income?
6.Calculate the project's Modified Internal Rate of Return (MIRR). What critical assumption does the MIRR make that differentiates it from the IRR?
TIP : look for the definition of Modified Internal Rate of Return, and then do it in excel, easy !!!
