Cunningham Industries reported actual sales of $2,000,000, and fixed costs of $510,000. The contribution margin ratio is 30%. Compute the margin of safety in dollars and the margin of safety ratio.

Results are below.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Actual sales= $2,000,000

Fixed costs= $510,000

Contribution margin ratio= 0.3

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in sales dollars:

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)=  510,000 / 0.3

Break-even point (dollars)=  $1,700,000

Now, the margin of safety:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= 2,000,000 - 1,700,000

Margin of safety= $300,000

Finally, the margin of safety ratio:

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 300,000 / 2,000,000

Margin of safety ratio= 0.15 = 15%

it's actually a very difficult task, due to not many people can make 2 million dollars in 2 years. besides that, to the not-so-realistic ideas, you can create a business. it could be practically anything, but make it into a business that isn't that known yet, you get me? also, lets not forget about stock market. that's where all the good stuff happens. use investments at the beginning and begin to raise up your business or whatever you're going to do. as this is a very non-realistic idea, it's still worth the shot!

answer; by looking at total product,marginal product,and changes in both after changes in inputs
