Answer:

7.47 times

Explanation:

The computation of operating leverage is shown below:-

= (Sales - Variable costs) ÷ (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs)

= ($1,896,000 - $804,000 - $180,000) ÷ ($1,896,000 - $804,000 - $180,000 - $520,000 - $270,000)

= $912,000 ÷ $122,000

= 7.47 times

The (Sales - Variable costs) = Contribution margin

The (Sales - Variable costs - Fixed costs) = EBIT

The correct answer is 7.47 times.Therefore, the option is not available.
