Zhao Co. has fixed costs of $354,000. Its single product sells for $175 per unit, and variable costs are $116 per unit. If the company expects sales of 10,000 units, compute its margin of safety in dollars and as a percent of expected sales.

Results are below.

Explanation:

First, we need to calculate the break-even point in units and sales dollars:

Break-even point in units= fixed costs/ contribution margin per unit

Break-even point in units= 354,000 / (175 - 116)

Break-even point in units= 6,000

Break-even point (dollars)= fixed costs/ contribution margin ratio

Break-even point (dollars)= 354,000 / (59 / 175)

Break-even point (dollars)= $1,050,000

Now, the margin of safety and margin of safety rate:

Margin of safety= (current sales level - break-even point)

Margin of safety= (10,000*175) - 1,050,000

Margin of safety= $700,000

Margin of safety ratio= (current sales level - break-even point)/current sales level

Margin of safety ratio= 700,000 / 1,750,000

Margin of safety ratio= 0.4= 40%

idk the answer so dont listen to me but 23

(i know i'm late but the answer's "things about yourself" because you want to list things you're capable of, why you want to open up the business, the amount of money you're putting into it,etc.) i'm guessing you take online school small business, the answers to the quizzes are all over quizlet. just look up your question and type quizlet after it and it'll pop up.
