    Hi, John
    i’m getting 30,000 but i don’t get it why are we dividing 30,000/2 = 15000? pls kindly explain, thanks alot.

    A company makes a single product which it sells for $2 per unit. Fixed costs are $13,000 per month.
    The contribution/sales ratio is 40%. Sales revenue is $62,500.
    What is the margin of safety (in units)?
    A. 15,000
    B. 16,250
    C. 30,000
    D. 31,250

    $30,000 is the margin of safety in $’s of revenue.

    However the question asks for it in units. The selling price is $2, and therefore in units it is 30,000/2 = 15,000.
