margin.
D._ keeping fixed costs to an absolute minimum.
Firms with a high degree of operating leverage:

In multiproduct situations, when sales mix shifts toward the product with the
highest contribution margin, then:

less than the contribution margin
equal to the contribution margin,
more than the contribution margin
more than the variable cost
