What is the current breakeven in Dollars? What is the Margin of Safety in units and dollars?

Explanation / Answer

Current Operating Income

Sales (60000 x $60) $36,00,000

Less: Variable cost (60000x20) $12,00,000

Contribution $24,00,000

Less : Fixed Costs $9,00,000

Current Operating Income $15,00,000

Current break-even point in units.

Break-even point in units = Fixed Costs / Contribution per unit

= $9,00,000/ ($60 - $20)

= $9,00,000/ $40

= 22,500 Units

Current break-even point in Dollars

Contribution ratio = ($40/$60)*100 = 0.66667 or 67%

Break-even point in dollars     = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin ratio

= $9,00,000/ 0.6667

                                                = $13,50,000

Margin of safety in Units

Margin of safety in units = Actual Sales units – Break-Even sales units

= 60,000 – 22,500

= 37,500 Units

Margin of safety in Dollars

Margin of safety in Dollars     = Actual Sales – Break-Even sales

= $36,00,000 - $13,50,000

= $22,50,000
