Warmack Machine Shop is considering a four-year project to introduce a new product. The project requires a new machinery. Buying the new machinery for $350,000 with $30,000 in shipping and $30,000 to intall, is estimated to result in incremental annual revenue of $200,000. The incremental variable cost is likely to be $25,000 and the incremental fixed cost is estimated to be $50,000. The inflation rate of 2.5% is estimated to affect Revenue, variable cost and the fixed cost going forward. The project falls in the MACRS five-year class, and it will have a salvage value at the end of the project of $55,000. As a part of the NWC requirment, an initial investment in inventory of $20,000 along with an additional $3,100 in inventory has to be made for each succeeding year of the project.

APPLY THE CONCEPTS: Margin of Safety
Margin of safety can allow you to see how much padding there is for
your company between profit and loss. If this number is great, it
may indicate that your company is performing very well. If this
number is small, it may be worth looking into possible remediation.
Consider the following pricing and cost information:
| Price and Cost Information | Amount | |
| Selling Price per Unit | $400 | |
| Variable Cost per Unit | $325 | |
| Total Fixed Cost | $45,000 | |
For the upcoming period, the company projects that it will sell 1,000 units. Considering that the company has a unit break-even point of 600 units, what is the margin of safety in terms of both units and sales revenue? Round your answers to two decimal places, if necessary.
| Margin of Safety in Units = - = |
| Margin of Safety in Sales Revenue = $ - $ = $ |
