    Hi My Dear Tutor,I have a question.

    A company manufactures and sells a single product for which the variable cost is 12 $ and the CS is 40%

    the fixed cost are 80000$ per annum

    budgeting selling unit 12000 per year

    what is the margin of safety?

    for BER total contribution =80000$
    Total Revenue required 80000/0,4=200000

    it is the question taken from opentuition multiple choice question concerned cost volume profit analysis chapter.

    how i can know that revenue is 80000$?this question confused me?could you explain it to me please?

    The revenue isn’t $80,000.

    The breakeven contribution is $80,000, and since the CS ratio is 40% the breakeven revenue must be 80,000/40%
