    Sales (650 units)-1300
    VC -(845)
    Contribution -455
    Increemental F.C-(70)
    Profit -385

    In the above question I did not understood why and how “The investment is more sensitive to a change in the sales price than sales volume”

    If the sales price changes by 1% then just the revenue changes by 13. Therefore the profit changes by 13 as well which is a change of 13/385 = 3.38%

    If the volume changes by 1% then the contribution changes by 4.55. Therefore the profit changes by 4.55 which is a change of 4.55/385 = 1.18%

    Therefore a change in sales price causes the biggest change in the profit, and therefore it is more sensitive.
