Answer:

$125,000

Explanation:

total sales = ?S

variable expenses = S x 40%

fixed costs = $270,000

operating income = $75,000

S - 0.4S - $270,000 = $75,000

0.6S = $75,000 + $270,000 = $345,000

S = $345,000 / 0.6 = $575,000

total sales = $575,000

margin of safety = total sales - break even point

break even point = $270,000 / 0.6 = $450,000

margin of safety = $575,000 - $450,000 = $125,000

The margin of safety represents how much can a company's sales can fall until it reaches the break even point.

Hi there!

Usually, this is the case.  However, just like when hoverboards first came out, there was a shortage of hoverboards and production activities had to ramp up production.  However, after a few months, production activities were at a high level, but demand petered out.
