The contribution margin ratio increases when the selling price per unit rises without a proportional increase in variable costs, or when variable costs per unit decrease while the selling price remains constant. Essentially, any scenario that increases the difference between sales revenue and variable costs will enhance the contribution margin ratio. Additionally, a shift in sales mix towards higher-margin products can also lead to an increase in the overall contribution margin ratio.
Variable cost per unit remains same per unit and has no impact on increase or decrease of sales.
If fixed cost is increased it means more number of units are required to cover fixed cost that's mean breakeven point will increase as well. If variable cost reduces then it means there is increase in contribution margin and contribution margin ratio which means that less number of units will be required to cover fixed cost hence breakeven point will reduce.
If both the sales price and variable cost per unit decrease, the break-even point will increase. This is because the contribution margin (sales price minus variable cost) per unit decreases, meaning more units must be sold to cover fixed costs. Consequently, a lower contribution margin leads to a higher number of sales needed to reach the break-even point.

The contribution ratio is the relationship between total sales revenue and total variable costs. If the components change, such as an increase in sales revenue or a decrease in variable costs, the contribution ratio will increase. Conversely, if sales revenue decreases or variable costs increase, the contribution ratio will decrease.
As sales increase, a company's fixed costs remain the same, causing the contribution margin ratio to improve and operating leverage to decrease. This is because a higher proportion of each additional sales dollar goes toward covering fixed costs rather than variable costs. Operating leverage is highest at the breakeven point where fixed costs are fully covered.
Increase in variable cost reduces the contribution margin as following formula suggests”Contribution margin = Sales revenue – Variable Cost

No. Contribution Margin (CM) is the difference between the Sale Price and the Cost Of Goods Sold (COGS). Cost of Goods Sold = Cost of parts, materials, labor to produce the item sold. [This is also called Direct Cost.] So, we can write a simple equation: Contribution Margin = Sale Price - COGS. If Sale Price goes down and COGS stays same, then Contribution Margin goes down. -- 25 August, 2008
