    hello john

    referring to your lecture notes on page 53 the question 2 on the test :

    i could not understand how you arrived at 20% as your answer…i seem to be getting 16.67% as the margin of safety (( 240000-200000)/240000*100 = 16.67%)

    alternatively in units:
    breakeven sales in units = 80000/(20-12) = 10000
    Margin of safety = 12000-10000 = 2000 units

    please correct me if i am wrong

    The answer is C.

    (I think you must have downloaded the notes some time ago, because originally there was a mistake and it did show the answer as 20%. However it was corrected a month or so ago and now it does show the correct answer.)

    No – I think that was the only one.
