Marshall Company had actual sales of $600,000 when break-even sales were $420,000. What is the margin of safety ratio?

30%

Explanation:

Given that,

Marshall Company had,

Actual sales = $600,000

Break-even sales = $420,000

Margin of Safety:

= Total sales - Sales at Break even

= $600,000 - $420,000

= $180,000

Therefore, the margin of safety ratio is as follows:

= (Margin of Safety ÷ Total sales) × 100

= ($180,000 ÷ $600,000) × 100

= 0.3 × 100

= 30%

a progressive tax is a tax that imposes a lower tax rate on low-income earners compared to those with a higher income, making it based on the taxpayer's ability to pay. that means it takes a bigger percentage from high income earners than it does from low income people.
