Answer:

25%

Explanation:

the formula for the margin of safety is as follows

margin = current sales level -breakeven point/ current sales level x 100

expected sales unit = 20,000 units

the break-even point is fixed costs/contribution margin

fixed costs= $360,000

contribution margin = sales price- variable costs

=61-37

=24

breakeven point = $360,000/ 24

=15000

the margin of safety =  20,000-15,000/20,000 x 100

=5000/20000 x 100

=25%

Answer:

Unrelated Diversification

Explanation:

The reason is that the company has entered in a number of product offering that are unrelated to each other.

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

Normal good

Explanation:

Income effect Is change in quantity demanded when the consumers purchasing power change as a result of a change in real income.

Substitution effect is when quantity demanded falls as a result of rise in price of a good which leads consumers to purchase cheaper alternatives.

A normal good is a good whose demand increases as income increases.

If the price of a normal good falls, the real purchasing power of the consumer increases and the consumer buys more of the good. Also, the consumer substituites from more expensive alternative goods to the more cheap normal good. The income and substitution effect both move in the same direction.
