You are given the following:
Sales Quantity: 11,000
Fixed costs for the year: 9,000
Unit Sales Price: 10
Unit Variable Cost: 8
What is the Margin of Safety (MOS) in sales dollars?
Margin of safety in sales dollar = Current sales - Break even point in sales dollar
Current sales = Sales quantity * unit sales price
= 11,000 * $10
= $110,000
Break even sales in point dollar = Fixed cost / contribution margin ratio
Fixed cost = $9,000
Contribution margin ratio = (Selling price - variable cost per unit) / Selling price
= ($10 - $8) / $10
= $2 / $10
= 20%
Break even point in sales dollar = $9,000 / 20%
= $45,000
Margin of safety in sales dollar = $110,000 - $45,000
= $65,000
