Calculation of Margin of safety in dollars of Manuel System:
Contribution margin ratio= Contribution/sales*100
                                                   = 360000/1800000*100= 20%
Break even point in dollars= Fixed cost/ contribution margin ratio
                                                     =120000/0.20= 600000
margin of safety in dollars= Total sales- break even sales
                                                    =1800000-600000=1200000
Margin of safety in dollar= $12,00,000
Calculation of Margin of safety in dollars of computerized System:
Contribution margin ratio= Contribution/sales*100
                                                   = 1080000/1800000*100= 60%
Break even point in dollars= Fixed cost/ contribution margin ratio
                                                     =840000/0.60= 1400000
margin of safety in dollars= Total sales- break even sales
                                                    =1800000-1400000=400000
Margin of safety in dollar= $400000
