What a time to be alive together. Here to take on this wonderful lesson. A couple of wrap up points here. We want to be ready for a simulation on either scenario or sensitivity analysis, right? What happens if we change one thing? Or what happens with scenario A, B, or C? We want to understand the regression analysis and the correlation between independent variables. Pretty important there as well. Any questions so far that you may have on the topic?

We want to understand the concept of cost, volume, profit analysis and key assumptions. That's really just break even analysis and all those different formulas. That's all it is. And lastly, we want to memorize and understand the relationship between all the break even formulas. That is key. Super important, right? You want to have all those tools in your toolbelt, be ready for the exam. You never know what they're going to ask, but if you know the formulas, you can rework it like a logic puzzle and get to the right answer. That's all we could ever ask for. The tools needed to pass the exam, we got them here for you.

Thank you all for joining and I will see you in the next one. Bye!
