    Sep / Dec 2021 – question 1 – part c. The formula of operating gearing = Contribution / PBIT. But the study text, operating gearing = Fixed cost / Variable costs. What is the difference ?

    Contribution / PBIT = (Revenue – VC)/(Revenue – VC – FC)

    I find that a little hard to interpret, although as FC increase this decreases)

    FC/VC…..Higher means a greater proportion of FC but the interpretation is easy.

    I would use the second method and it is perfectly acceptable in the exam.
