Majid Corporation sells a product for $195 per unit. The product's current sales are 42,300 units and its break-even sales are 35,175 units. What is the margin of safety in dollars?

Answer 1

Answer:

$1,389,375

Explanation:

Data provided as per the question:-

Product per unit = $195

Current sales = 42,300 units

Break-even sales = 35,175 units

The computation of margin of safety in dollars is shown below:-

Margin of safety (in units) = Total sales - Break-even sales

= 42,300 - 35,175

=7,125 units

Margin of safety (in dollars) = Margin of safety × Product per unit

=(7,125 × $195)

= $1,389,375
