    Mylo is now considering investing in a speciality coffee machine. He has estimated the following daily results for the new machine:

    Sales (650 units) $1300
    Variable costs ($845)
    Contribution $455
    Incremental fixed costs ($70)
    Profit $385

    Which of the following statements are true regarding the sensitivity of this investment?

    (1) The investment is more sensitive to a change in sales volume than sales price.

    (2) If variable costs increase by 44% the investment will make a loss.

    (3) The investment’s sensitivity to incremental fixed costs is 550%.

    (4) The margin of safety is 84.6%

    A (1), (2) and (3)

    B (2) and (4)

    C (1), (3) and (4)

    D (3) and (4)

    Answer is D.

    Can you tell me which way of calculating sensitivity of sales volume is correct?
    (I) 385/455 x 100= 84.6%
    (II) 385/650 x 100= 59.2%

    I have studied the first way in FM. Can you tell which is correct of them.
