Answer:

37 %

Explanation:

Margin of safety is the difference between expected profit and the break-even point. It is expressed as a percentage of the sales level. the formula is as below

the margin of safety = budgeted sales - break-even/ budgeted sales x 100

For Zhao Co.  ltd break-even point is:

Using the contribution margin formula,

break-even = fixed cost/contribution margin per unit

Fixed cost = $390, 600

Contribution margin per unit = Selling price - variable costs

=$181- $119= $62

Breakeven in units = $390,000 / $62 =$6300 units

Break even in dollars = $6300 x $181= 1, 140,300

Expected sales = 10,000 units

sales in dollars = 10,000 x $181=  1, 810, 000

The margin of safety

=  1 810,000- 1140,000/ 1810,000 x 100

=670,000/1810,000 x 100

=0.370165 x 100

=37.016 %

= 37 %

\left[\begin{array}{ccccc}$Activity&$Driver&$cost&$Total&$Rate\\$Machinning&$Machine Hours&50,350&21,340&2.36\\$Filling&$Orders&28,940&1,066&27.15\\Other&&21,410&0&0\\\end{array}\right]

Now, we apply this rate into the product:

5,540 machine hours x 2.36 activity rate = 13.074,4‬

   142 orders x 27.15 activity rate = 3.855,3‬

Total: 16.929,7‬
