Explanation / Answer

Contribution to sales ratio = [Contribution margin/ sales in $ ] x 100

=> Contribution to sales ratio = [ 8000 /20000] x 100

=> Contribution to sales ratio = 40 %

Margin of safety in $ = Net income in $ / Contribution to sales ratio

=> $ 2000/ 40 %

=> $5000 <---

Margin of safety as a % = Margin of safety as a % of sales

=> [ Margin of safety in $ / Sales in $] x 100

=> [ $5000 / $ 20000] x 100

=>25%

Answer : Margin of safety in ($) = $ 5000 , Margin of safety as a (%) = 25 %
