Explanation / Answer

Answer to 14

Margin of Safety = Total Sale - Break Even Sale

= 825000 - 700962

= 124038

Working Note

Break Even Sale = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin Ratio

= 356860 / 0.5091

= $700962

Contribution Margin Ratio = (Sale Price - Variable Cost) / Sales Price

= (275-135) / 275

= 50.91%
