Explanation / Answer

MARGIN OF SAFTEY = ACTUAL SALES - BEP SALES

= (2500 *$43) - $25400

   = $107500 - $25400

   = $82100

MARGIN OF SAFTEY RATIO = MARGIN OF SAFTEY / ACTUAL SALES

= $82100 / $107500

   = 76.37%

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SALES (2500 * $43) = $107500

LESS VARIABLE COST (2500 *$18.92) = ($47300)

CONTRIBUTION MARGIN = $60200

ADD INCEREASE BY 41% ($60200 * 41%) = $24682

NEW CONTRIBUTION MARGIN = $84882

NEW SALES= NEW CONTRIBUTION MARGIN / CONTRIBUTION MARGIN RATIO

= $84882 / 56%

   = $151575

INCEREASE IN SALES REQUIRED ($151575 - $107500) = $44075
