What will be an ideal response?
Per unit costs:
Sales price = $225,000/7,500 = $30
Variable cost = $135,000/7,500 = $18
Contribution margin per unit = $30 - $18 = $12 per unit
Contribution margin ratio = ($30 - $18)/$30 = .40
(a) Break-even in units = $48,000/$12 = 4,000 units
(b) Break-even in dollars = $48,000/.40 = $120,000 (or 4,000 units x $30)
(c) Margin of safety in dollars = $225,000 - $120,000 = $105,000
(d) Margin of safety in percent = $105,000/$225,000 = 46.7%
