Calculation of margin of safety
Margin of safety = Actual salea - Break even sales
Break even sales
In case of break even, Total cost = Revenue
Function is Revenue = $800 + 0.375*Revenue
0.625 Revenue = $800
Break even Revenue = $1280
Actual sales
Profit befor tax = $600/60*100 = $1000
Function is, Revenue - Profit = $800 + 0.375*revenue
Revenue - $1000 = $800 + 0.375*revenue
0.675 Revenue = $1800
Revenue = $2880
Margin of safety = $2880 - $1280 = $1600
