P&L Sensitivity Analysis
Quantify how each RGM lever lands on EBIT under realistic margin structures — the ~3× price-over-volume leverage ratio in action.
The Hook
At a 25% operating margin, a 10% price increase doubles profit. A 10% volume increase grows it 40%. Same 10%, very different outcomes.
P&L sensitivity is the cross-lever version of the 1% leverage canon from Lesson PNL/1. Instead of 1% moves, it quantifies realistic 5–10% lever moves and shows how each lands on EBIT under the current margin structure. The sensitivity hierarchy is remarkably stable across FMCG: Price > Variable Cost > Volume > Fixed Cost, with price typically 3× the leverage of volume at mainstream margin levels. Understanding which lever to pull — and which one is the last resort — is what separates integrated RGM decisions from one-lever-at-a-time thinking.
