Sale (A)

500000

Less: Variable cost (B)

260000

Contribution margin (C=A-B)

240000

Answer to problem number 142

Margin of safety for the June =$166600

Explanation to the answer

Selling price per unit:

34

Less: variable cost per unit:

14

Contribution margin per unit

20

Margin of Safety in units

=Actual sales-Break even sales

Now we need to find out the Break even sales first

So Break even sales

Break even point in units:

= Fixed Cost /Contribution margin per unit

=42,000/20

=2100 units

Margin of Safety in units

=Actual sales-Break even sales

=7000 units-2100 units

=4,900 units

Margin of Safety in terms of dollar

=4,900 units x 34

=166600
