    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.
