Solution

To calculate the operating leverage of the firm, we can use the formula:

Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income

First, we need to calculate the contribution margin. The contribution margin is the difference between sales and variable costs.

Contribution Margin = Sales - Variable Costs Contribution Margin = Rs. 82.5 Lacs - Rs. 46.2 Lacs Contribution Margin = Rs. 36.3 Lacs

Next, we need to calculate the operating income. The operating income is the difference between contribution margin and fixed costs.

Operating Income = Contribution Margin - Fixed Costs Operating Income = Rs. 36.3 Lacs - Rs. 6.6 Lacs Operating Income = Rs. 29.7 Lacs

Now, we can calculate the operating leverage using the formula:

Operating Leverage = Contribution Margin / Operating Income Operating Leverage = Rs. 36.3 Lacs / Rs. 29.7 Lacs Operating Leverage = 1.22

Therefore, the operating leverage of the firm is 1.22.
