Answer:
Option B The company made large investments in fixed assets.
Explanation:
The reason is that the reaminder of the options talk about the increase of the cash not a decrease in cash amount. If the company cuts dividend then it is retaining cash, if the company is raising finance then it is increasing cash or if the company is selling its division or assets then it is raising cash.
These things constitutes to increase in cash flow.
The decrease is cash occurs when the company invests (cash outflow). So the company is making cash outflows which means cash level will decrease.
To find the margin of safety in dollars, subtract the breakeven sales from the budged or actual sales.
Current sales are 41,800 units
Break even point in units is 33,900
Cost per unit is $170
(33,900)($170) = $5,763,000
(41,800)($170) = $7,106,000
The margin of safety in dollars is:
$7,106,000 - $5,763,000 = $1,343,000
