SENSITIVITY ANALYSIS

((deleted)7y ago
Sir, how do we measure the sensitivity to the change in sales volume? is it the contribution earned to that of the profit? I have a doubt in question no. 20 from past paper Sept 2016, wherein the investment is more sensitive to change in sales price than the sales volume. but I have calculated the sensitivity to sales price as 29.6% and to sales volume as 84.6% (contribution/profit). Please do help me out sir!

Your sensitivities are correct - they are the same as those in the answer!! The smaller the sensitivity then the more worried we are about changes - the more sensitive we are.
