Key Insights
- Contribution margin (Price − Variable Cost) is the lever—improving it reduces break-even dramatically.
- Target profit simply shifts the break-even line: more desired profit → more units needed.
- Sensitivity: small price changes matter when margins are thin; test scenarios before committing.
