Select one: a. 110% b. 51.85% c. 54.88% d. 45.12%
Sales = $549,015
Contribution margin = $284,682
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Sales
Contribution margin ratio = $284,682 / $549,015
Contribution margin ratio = 0.51853228
Break even sales = Fixed cost / Contribution margin ratio = $156,240 / 0.51853228
Break even sales = $301,312
Margin of safety = [(Actual sales - Break even sales) / Break even sales] * 100
Margin of safety = [(549,015 - $301,312) / 549,015] * 100 = 45.12%
Margin of safety = 45.12%
