Answer:

4.86%

Explanation:

Given that

Expected sales = $360,000

Break-even sales = $342,500

The computation of the margin of safety is shown below:-

Margin of safety (in percent) = (Expected sales - Break-even sales) ÷ Expected sales

= ($360,000 - $342,500) ÷ $360,000

= $17500 ÷ $360,000

= 4.86%

Therefore, for computing the margin of safety we simply deduct break even sales from expected sales and after result we divide with expected sales.

il63 [147K]

Answer:

Option (b) is correct.

Explanation:

Contribution margin ratio is the difference between the selling price of the product and the variable cost of the product.

Contribution margin ratio = Selling price - Variable cost

Now, if there is a decrease in the fixed costs and variable costs of the product then as a result contribution margin ratio increases because of the fall in variable cost.

Break even point = (Fixed expense ÷ Contribution margin ratio)

If there is an increase in the contribution margin ration and a reduction in the fixed expense then as a result break even point decreases.

Increased; Decreased
