Selling price per unit = $80
Variable cost per unit = $50
Fixed cost = $3,000,000
a.
Contribution margin per unit = Selling price per unit - Variable cost per unit
= 80-50
= $30
b.
Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin per unit / Selling price per unit
= 30/80
=37.5%

Break even in units = Fixed cost / Contribution margin per unit
= 3,000,000/30
= 100,000 units

Margin of safety = Actual sales units - Break even in units
= 110,000-100,000
