Respuesta :

Answer:

Margin of safety = $200,000

Explanation:

Given:

Actual profit = $80,000

Break-even point = $500,000

Variable expenses = 60% of sales

Find:

Margin of safety

Computation:

Assume sales = a

So,

Variable expenses = 0.6a

Pv ratio = [(Sales - Variable expenses) / Sales]100

Pv ratio = [(a - 0.6a)/a]100

Pv ratio = 40%

Margin of safety = Profit / Pv ratio

Margin of safety = 80,000 / 40%

Margin of safety = $200,000
