Studdy Solution
Calculate margin of safety:
Margin of Safety (Units)=Actual Sales UnitsBreak-even Sales Units \text{Margin of Safety (Units)} = \text{Actual Sales Units} - \text{Break-even Sales Units}
Margin of Safety (Units)=6,8003,573 \text{Margin of Safety (Units)} = 6,800 - 3,573
Margin of Safety (Units)=3,227 \text{Margin of Safety (Units)} = 3,227
Margin of Safety (Percentage)=(Margin of Safety (Units)Actual Sales Units)×100 \text{Margin of Safety (Percentage)} = \left(\frac{\text{Margin of Safety (Units)}}{\text{Actual Sales Units}}\right) \times 100
Margin of Safety (Percentage)=(3,2276,800)×100 \text{Margin of Safety (Percentage)} = \left(\frac{3,227}{6,800}\right) \times 100
Margin of Safety (Percentage)47.46% \text{Margin of Safety (Percentage)} \approx 47.46\%
The income statement, break-even point, and margin of safety have been calculated.
