Compute the break-even point in (1) units and (2) dollars.
a. Break even sales __ units
b. Break even sales __ $$
Assuming actual sales are $2,115,000, compute the margin of safety in (1) dollars and (2) as a ratio.

b. Margin of safety ratio (as percentage)
variable costs | 63.20% |
Contribution | 36.80% |
Selling Price per Unit | 3.90 |
Contribution per Unit | 1.44 |
Fixed Cost | 655,000 |

Breakeven Units | = | Fixed Cost | / | Contribution per Unit |
Breakeven Units | = | 655,000 | / | 1.44 |
Breakeven Units | = | 456,382.39 | ||
b | ||||
Breakeven Sales | = | Breakeven Units | * | Selling Price per Unit |
Breakeven Sales | = | 456,382 | * | 3.90 |

Margin of saftey($) | = | Current Sales Units | - | Break Even Sales |
Margin of saftey($) | = | 2,115,000.00 | - | 1,779,891.30 |
Margin of saftey($) | = | 335,108.70 | ||

Margin of saftey | = | (Current Sales Units - Breakeven Units) | / | Current sales Units |
Margin of saftey | = | (2115000-1779891) | / | 2,115,000.00 |
Margin of saftey | = | 335,109.00 | / | 2,115,000.00 |
