The degree of operating leverage has which of the following characteristics? The closer the firm is operating to breakeven quantity, the smaller the DOL. A change in quantity demanded will produce the same percentage change in EBIT as an identical change in price per unit of output, other things held constant. The DOL is not a fixed number for a given firm, but will depend upon the time zero values of the economic variables Q (Quantity), P (Price), and V (Volume). The DOL relates the change in sales to the change in net operating income. If the firm has no debt, the DOL will equal 1.

The DOL relates the change in sales to the change in net operating income.

Which of the following statements is correct? The degree of operating leverage (DOL) depends on a company's fixed costs, variable costs, and sales. The DOL formula assumes (1) that fixed costs are constant and (2) that variable costs are a constant proportion of sales. The degree of total leverage (DTL) is equal to the DOL plus the degree of financial leverage (DFL). Arithmetically, financial leverage and operating leverage offset one another so as to keep the degree of total leverage constant. Therefore, the formula shows that the greater the degree of financial leverage, the smaller the degree of operating leverage. For a given change in sales, the corresponding percentage change in net income could be more or less than the percentage change in operating income. The degree of total leverage (DTL) is equal to the DFL divided by the degree of operating leverage (DOL)

The degree of operating leverage (DOL) depends on a company's fixed costs, variable costs, and sales. The DOL formula assumes (1) that fixed costs are constant and (2) that variable costs are a constant proportion of sales.
