The break-even point in units for computer paper is $52,000.00. Meaning to break-even, you have to sell $52,000.00 of units of computer paper. “The margin of safety, expressed in either dollars or a percentage, shows how much sales can be reduced without sustaining losses” (Schneider, 2012). The formula to find margin of safety in dollars is: margin of safety in dollars equals the actual (or expected) costs minus the break-even costs. So in the case of computer paper. The actual cost of $30,000.00 minus the break-even point of $52,000.00 gives you the margin of safety of -$22,000.00. Meaning you can cut the sales of computer paper by $22,000.00 and not sustain a loss.
In our second assumption, instead of using the cost of goods per cases in 1986, we try to use the percentage it counts in the total expenses which is 50.4% and to find the sales needed to break-even. The detail of the calculation is shown in the answer for questions d. The result is that 95,635, a little bit higher than the estimated sales of 90,000.

then create a formula similar to this .53 = 530,000 - 1,000,000 as you can see, Dean 's operating income is $530,000 (Net sales – all operating expenses). According to the formula used, Dean’s operating margin is .53. By taking that away from 110 this means that 57 cents on every dollar of sales are used to pay for variable costs. Only 53 cents remains to cover all non-operating expenses or fixed costs.
