    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

    In the answer sheet it is 15000 which i think is wrong. The answer should be 16250 since budgeted sales – break even point (fixed costs / contribution per unit).

    Please confirm this. thanks.

    Hi the answer is 15000 units. B/E sales revenue = 13000/0.40 = £32500

    sales revenue £62500 less B/E sales revenue of £32500 = £30000/2 sales price per unit = 15000 units MOS
