Molander Corporation is a distributor of a sun umbrella used at resort hotels. Data concerning the next month’s budget appear below:
Selling price | $30 | per unit | |
Variable expenses | $20 | per unit | |
Fixed expenses | $7,500 | per month | |
Unit sales | 1,000 | units per month | |
Required:
1. Compute the company’s margin of safety.
2. Compute the company’s margin of safety as a percentage of its sales.
1. Contribution margin ratio = ($30 - $20) / $30 = 0.3333 or 33.33%
Break-even sales = Fixed expenses / Contribution margin ratio = $7,500 / 0.3333 = $22,500
Margin of safety = Acutal sales - Break-even sales
Margin of safety = (1,000 units × $30) - $22,500
Margin of safety = $7,500
2. Margin of safety as a percentage of its sales = Margin of safety / Actual sales
Margin of safety as a percentage of its sales = $7,500 / $30,000
Margin of safety as a percentage of its sales = 0.25 or 25%
