% change in output = ( 48000 - 45000 ) / 45000 = 6.667%
% change in operating cash flow = % change in output * dgree of operating leverage = 6.667% * 2.79 = 18.60%
New level of operating leverage will be lower, because the level of output has increased.
The relation between level of output and operating leverage in inverse. As the level of output increases the operating leverage decreases and when the level of output decreases the operating leverage increases.
