Solution:

Variable costs will be 53.1%

Selling price of the product is $3.50

Fixed costs $710,000

Now,

$3.50 x 37.5% = $131.25 CM per unit

Compute the break-even point in  

(1) units and  

710,000/ 131.25 = 5409.523 units

(2) dollars.

5409.523 x $3.50 = $18,933.33

Compute the margin of safety in (1) dollars and .

2,000,000 - $18,933.33 = $1,981,066

(2) as a ratio, assuming actual sales are $2,000,000

5409.523/ 2,000,000 = 20%
