Solution

To calculate the margin of safety ratio, we need to first determine the margin of safety. The margin of safety is the difference between actual sales and break-even sales.

Margin of Safety = Actual Sales - Break-even Sales Margin of Safety = 600,000600,000 - 420,000 Margin of Safety = $180,000

Next, we can calculate the margin of safety ratio by dividing the margin of safety by actual sales and multiplying by 100.

Margin of Safety Ratio = (Margin of Safety / Actual Sales) * 100 Margin of Safety Ratio = (180,000/180,000 / 600,000) * 100 Margin of Safety Ratio = 30%

Therefore, the margin of safety ratio is 30%.
