FAQ

Quick answers

Short answers for the questions that usually come up first.

What is the difference between contribution margin and profit?

Contribution margin shows what each sale contributes after variable costs, while profit also reflects fixed costs.

Why include expected units here?

Volume matters because healthy contribution per unit can still produce weak profit if sales volume is too low to absorb fixed costs.
