GARY CORP HAS THE FOLLOWING DATA:
VC/UNIT $57.60
VC % 60%
FIXED COSTS $374,400
TAX RATE 40%
ASSUME GARY HAD AFTER-TAX NET INCOME = $235,008. WHAT IS GARY’S MARGIN OF SAFETY IN UNITS?
Answer : Margin of Safety = 10,200 ( units)
Variable Cost per unit = $ 57.60
Variable cost (%) = 60%
Fixed Cost = $ 374,400
Tax Rate = 40%
After Tax Net income = $235,008
Solution :
Selling Price Per unit = Variable Cost / Variable Cost % = $57.60 /60% = $96
Contribution MArgin Per unit = Selling price - Varaible cost = $96 - $ 57.60 = $38.40
Break Even Point ( Units) = Fixed Cost / Contribution Margin = $ 374,400 / $38.40 = 9750 Units
Actual sales = (38.40 * ( Actual Units)) - 374,400)* (1-Tax) = $ 235,008
=(38.4Units -374,400 )*0.60 = $235,008
= 23.04 units = 224640+$235008
= Actula Units = $459648 / 23.04 = 19,950( Units)
MArgin of safety (units) = Actula Units - BEP Unit = 19950-9750 = 10,200 Units ( answer)
