Tyrene Products manufactures recreational equipment. One of the company’s products, a skateboard, sells for $37.50.

Required: 1a. Compute the CM ratio and the break-even point in skateboards. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) Contribution margin Unit sales to break-even point skateboards 1b. Compute the degree of operating leverage at last year's level of sales. (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Degree of operating leverage
2. Due to an increase in labor rates, the company estimates that variable costs will increase by $1.85 per skateboard next year. If this change takes place and the selling price per skateboard remains constant at $37.00, what will be the new CM ratio and the new break-even point in skateboards? (Round your intermediate calculations and the "Contribution margin" answer to 2 decimal places and other answer to the nearest whole number.)
