    51.9 = 75 – 21 – 10% X 21 [SP – new cost of sale]

    Profits down by $5.5m; contribution/unit = 51.9

    5,500,000/51.9 = 105,973

    Yes, usually.

    Strictly planning gap could,refer,to other things such as a gap in production capacity.

    ROCE = Operating profit/Capital employed

    Capital employed = Operating profit/ROCE = 71/0.417 = 170.3
