Operational gearing

SASyed Ahsan Ali5y ago
Is it true that Operational gearing is used to measure the business risk of the company? It can be calculated as (Contribution / Profit before Interest & Tax)? What exactly are we looking for using this formula?

No. Operating gearing is one factor that affects the riskiness of a business. As to what we are looking at, please watch my free lecture working through Chapter 13 of our free lectures notes.
