Answer:
Results are below.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Break-even point in sales= $960,000
Actual sales= $1,200,000
<u>To calculate the margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage, we need to use the following formulas:</u>
Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)
Margin of safety= (1,200,000 - 960,000)
Margin of safety= $240,000
Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even
point)/current sales level
Margin of safety ratio= 240,000 / 1,200,000
Margin of safety ratio= 0.2 = 20%
