c. Contribution margin per unit $10.5

d. Break even point in unit sales 44,571 units

e. Margin of Safety 10.8%

f. Degree of operating Leverage  2.3%

Explanation:

Margin of Safety :  Current sales in units - Break even Sales in units

Break even Point in unit sales  = Fixed cost / contribution margin

Degree of operating leverage = % change in operating leverage / % change in sales

{[667088 - 525218 ] / 667,088]} / {[55,000 - 50,000] / 55,000}

21 / 9.09 = 2.3%

Contribution Margin : Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit

$32 - $21.5
