Question

25. Margin of safety =
Contribution / variable cost
Sales - variable cost
Sales – break even point sales
contribution - fixed cost​

Answer 1

Answer:

Since you have the contribution margin ratio, you must identify the variable cost ratio and use that figure to determine the total sales. To do so, subtract the contribution margin ratio from 100 to determine the variable cost ratio, and then divide the variable cost amount by that percentage.

To be profitable in business, it is important to know what your break-even point is. Your break-even point is the point at which total revenue equals total costs or expenses. At this point there is no profit or loss — in other words, you 'break even'.
