If Burkett Corporation achieves the budgeted level of sales, what will be its margin of safety in dollars? (Do not round Intermediate calculations.): $1,020,000 8 08:49 Sales (51,000 units) Costs: Direct materials Direct labor Fixed factory overhead Variable factory overhead Fixed marketing costs Variable marketing costs Pretax income $278, 800 240, 100 100, 500 150, 100 119, 100 50, 100 929,700 90,300 a. $150300
b. $305302
c. $169,831
d. S234282
e. $327,539

The correct option is 306,102 (i.e. the second option in the attached pdf file.). That is, the margin of safety is $306,102.

Explanation:

Note: This question contains some errors and its data are merged together. The original sorted question is therefor provided before answering the question. See the attached pdf file for the complete sorted question.

The explanation of the answers is now provided as follows:

Actual dollar sales = $1,020,000

Variable cost = Direct materials + Direct labor + Variable factory overhead + Variable marketing costs = $278,800 + $240,100 + $150,100 + $50,100 = $719,100

Contribution margin = Actual dollar Sales - Variable cost = $1,020,000 - $719,100 = $300,900

Contribution margin ratio = Contribution margin / Actual dollar sales = $300,900 / $1,020,000 = 0.295, or 29.50%

Fixed Cost = Fixed factory overhead + Fixed marketing costs = $100,500 + $110,100 = $210,600

Breakeven point in dollar dales = Fixed Cost / Contribution margin ratio = $210,600 / 29.50% = $713,898

Margin of safety = Actual dollar sales - Breakeven point in dollar dales = $1,020,000 - $713,898 = $306,102

From the attached pdf file, the correct option is 306,102 (i.e. the second option in the attached pdf file.). That is, the margin of safety is $306,102.

of the three mortgage options that demarco and tanya have to choose from, the balloon payment mortgage would be their best option, over adjustable payment and fixed payment plans.ultimately, the balloon payment plan would save demarco and tanya overall, in interest, would cost less monthly, and they would only have to make these payments for 8 years, opposing to 30 years for adjustable or fixed payment plans. 

overall, demarco and tanya would save $80,811 if they chose balloon payments over fixed payments, and would save $116,711 if they choose balloon payments over adjustable payments. benefits with choosing fixed payments over adjustable payments is that, in the end, the payments will still be $836.30 a month, while with adjustable payments, the initial monthly payments will be $763.38 to $1082.70 a month, ultimately leading to a more costly purchase. benefits with choosing fixed payments over balloon payments are not present. benefits in choosing adjustable payments over is that it has a lower interest rate, and starts with lower monthly payments initially. benefits in choosing adjustable payments over balloon payments include a lower interest rate, and lower initial monthly payments. benefits in choosing balloon payments over fixed payments include lower interest rates, lower overall price, lower monthly payments, takes less time to pay off, and does not require a downpayment. benefits in choosing balloon payments over adjustable payments include, lower monthly payments (when averaged), takes less time to pay off, and lower overall price.

hence, option c, balloon payments, is the best option for demarco and tanya to make this purchase, for it will save them a minimum of $80811, and a maximum of $116,711.
