Explanation / Answer

Sales = $1,600,000
Variable Costs = $1,200,000
Number of units sold = 100,000
Fixed Costs = $482,200

Selling Price = Sales / Number of units sold
Selling Price = $1,600,000 / 100,000
Selling Price = $16.00

Variable Cost per unit = Variable Costs / Number of units sold
Variable Cost per unit = $1,200,000 / 100,000
Variable Cost per unit = $12.00

Contribution Margin Ratio = (Selling Price - Variable Cost per unit) / Selling Price
Contribution Margin Ratio = ($16.00 - $12.00) / $16.00
Contribution Margin Ratio = 25%

Break-even Point in dollar sales = Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio
Break-even Point in dollar sales = $482,200 / 25%
Break-even Point in dollar sales = $1,928,800

Sales required to meet Target Net Income = (Fixed Costs + Target Net Income) / Contribution Margin Ratio
Sales required to meet Target Net Income = ($482,200 + $204,000) / 25%
Sales required to meet Target Net Income = $686,200 / 25%
Sales required to meet Target Net Income = $2,744,800

Margin of Safety Ratio = (Sales - Break-even Point in dollar sales) / Sales
Margin of Safety Ratio = ($2,744,800 - $1,928,800) / $2,744,800
Margin of Safety Ratio = 29.73%
