Expert Solution

variable costs 63.20%
Contribution 36.80%
Selling Price per Unit                 3.90
Contribution per Unit                 1.44
Fixed Cost          655,000
1
a
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
Breakeven Sales =                                                            1,779,891
2
a
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
b
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
Margin of saftey 15.84%
