7. Margin of Safety (percent of current sales) = (Sales – Sales at Break-Even Point) ÷ Sales
8. Margin of Safety (SAR) = Sales (SAR) – Break-Even Sales (SAR)
9. Variable Cost = (Highest Cost – Lowest Cost )/(Highest Unit – Lowest Unit) = (56,400-49,200)/(2,300-1,900) =
Fixed Cost = [Total Cost=(Variable Cost per Unit×Units Produced)+Fixed Cost] = [56,400 (High) = (18 × 2,3
10. Sales = [Contribution Margin = Sales × Contribution Margin Ratio] = [ 0.55 Sales = Sales − Variable Costs
Sales price per unit = [Sales ÷ Units Sold] = [ 90,000 ÷ 50,000 ] = 1.80 SAR
Variable cost per unit = [Total Variable Costs ÷ Units Sold] = [ 40,500 ÷ 50,000 ] = (0.81 SAR)
Contribution margin per unit =[ Sales price per unit – Variable cost per unit ] = [ 1.80 − 0.81 ] = 0.99 SAR
Contribution margin = [ Sales −Total Variable Costs ] = [ 90,000 – 40,500 ] = 49,500 SAR
11. Sales (SAR) = [Units Sold×Sales Price per Unit=25,000×6] = $150,000
Contribution margin = [Total Sales−Total Variable Costs] = [150,000-84,300] = (65,700 SAR)
Total variable cost = [Total Sales−Contribution Margin] = [ 150,000−65,700 ] = $84,300
Variable cost per unit = [Total Variable Costs ÷ Units Sold] = [ 84,300 ÷ 25,000 ] = $3.37
Unit contribution margin = [Unit Contribution Margin] = [ 6−3.37 ] = $2.63

Fixed costs = 6,000 + 7,200 = SAR 13,200
Operating income = SAR (6,000) ( Given)
Contribution Margin Ratio = [ Contribution Margin / Sales ] = [ 7,200/18,000] = 0.4
Break-even sales = [ Fixed Costs / Contribution Margin Ratio ] = [13,200/0,4] = SAR 33,000
