Answer:

Margin of safety (units)= 1,500 units

Margin of safety (dollars)= $90,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Sales= 3,500 units

Selling price= $60

Unitary variable cost= $21

Total fixed cost equals $78,000

First, we need to calculate the break-even point both in units and dollars:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 78,000/ (60 - 21)

Break-even point in units= 2,000 units

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 78,000/ (39/60)

Break-even point (dollars)= $120,000

Now, we can determine the margin of safety:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety (units)= 3,500  - 2,000= 1,500 units

Margin of safety (dollars)= 210,000 - 120,000= $90,000
