Part e

Margin of safety in dollars = $960,000

Margin of safety in percentage = 33.3 %

Part f

Operating Leverage = 3.00

Explanation:

Income Statement :

Sales - Expenses = Income

Note : I have separated Variable and Fixed Expenses

Contribution Margin ratio :

Contribution Margin ratio = Contribution ÷ Sales

= $1,728,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 0.6 or 60 %

Break-even sales ( units and dollars) :

Break-even sales (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution per unit

= $1,152,000 ÷ $144.00

= 8,000

Break-even sales (dollars) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin ratio

= $1,152,000 ÷ 0.60

= $1,920,000

Margin of safety in dollars and as a percentage of sales :

Margin of safety in dollars = Expected Sales (dollars) - Break-even sales (dollars)

= $2,880,000 - $1,920,000

= $960,000

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

= $960,000 ÷ $2,880,000

= 33.3 %

Operating leverage

Operating Leverage = Contribution ÷ Earnings Before Interest and Tax

= $1,728,000 ÷ $576,000

= 3.00

Mention three barriers to interpersonal communication and how to overcome them

yawa3891 [41]

Explanation:

Empathy,
linguistic and
cultural barriers.

Barriers to interpersonal communication can result from specific situations and personal differences that contribute to making the communication process more difficult.

However, it is possible to identify and overcome them. In the case of barriers of empathy, they can occur when there is no intention of understanding a certain situation that an individual is sharing with another individual, which may imply resistance in the listener that makes communication difficult , to overcome it, there must be greater understanding on both sides, greater respect and ethics on both sides.

In linguistic and cultural barriers it is necessary that individuals are willing to respect different values and cultures, acting with ethics and respect. When there is a need to communicate with people of different nationalities, as in a multicultural work environment for example, language barriers must be minimized with the learning of a common language, such as English for example.
