Net profit is the final result, not what we need for this calculation!

Wait, are we sure contribution is the right choice? Seems too simple.

Fixed overheads shouldn't be in the NPV calculation, right?

I think operating profit is more relevant here.

Definitely need to look at contribution for NPV sensitivity.

I feel like net profit might be too broad for this specific sensitivity analysis; contribution seems more direct, but I could be wrong.

Fixed overheads seem like they wouldn't change with sales volume, so I doubt they are relevant for this calculation.

I remember practicing a similar question where we had to consider operating profit, but I can't recall if that's applicable here.

I think we need to focus on the contribution margin for the sensitivity analysis, but I'm not entirely sure if that's the right approach.

I think the "D" is for "Decide," but I'm not 100% sure. I'll make an educated guess on this one.

Hmm, I'm a little unsure about the formatting part. I know I need to copy the text and paste it, but I'm not 100% sure how to get the left-justified and bold formatting right. I'll have to be careful with that step.
