             Application of CVP


             •    Unit information usually indicates a break-even in units and

                  value/monetary information (eg Rand or a ratio based on rand) a

                  break-even in Rand.

             •    The net profit is derived from the units sold in excess of the breakeven

                  point, i.e. the contribution from the margin of safety sales.

             •    The margin of safety % indicates by how much sales volume can

                  decline before the entity makes NIL profit.

             •    Sensitivity % for other variables in the model indicates how big a

                  change can be absorbed before the entity makes no profit.

                    •     Δ in selling price/unit

                    •     Δ in variable cost/unit

                    •     Δ in total fixed costs
