b. The highest contribution margin ratio of a segment should not be interpreted as being most profitable segment. If the volume of the business is not sufficient to exceed the breakeven point, then the segment would be unprofitable. In the final analysis, the fixed cost also should be considered in determining the overall profitability of the segment. The contribution margin ratio shows how sensitive the profit will be to changes in volume.
