What is Operating Leverage?
——————————————–
Operating leverage is an accounting metric that assists analysts in analyzing how a company's operations are related to its revenues. Moreover, the ratio details how much of an increase in operating profit the company will have with a specific percentage increase in sales – emphasizing the predictability of sales.

Formula
——————————————–
Degree of Operating Leverage Formula = % change in EBIT / % change in Sales.

Interpretation
——————————————–
– Lower Operating Leverage means higher variable costs and lower fixed costs. In this situation, a
business must generate a minimum level of sales to pay its fixed costs. It can earn additional profit in terms of Selling Price minus Variable Cost until it achieves the break-even point, where all of its fixed costs are covered.
– Lower variable expenses and higher fixed costs are associated with higher operating leverage. The
break-even point will be higher in this case since the fixed costs are higher. The benefit is that once the break-even point is reached, the company will be able to earn a greater profit on each product because the variable cost is low.
