Solution

The Margin of Safety is calculated using the following formula:

Margin of Safety = (Actual Sales - Break-even Sales) / Actual Sales * 100%

Substituting the given values into the formula:

Margin of Safety = (4,00,000 - 2,50,000) / 4,00,000 * 100%

Margin of Safety = 1,50,000 / 4,00,000 * 100%

Margin of Safety = 0.375 * 100%

Margin of Safety = 37.5%

So, the correct answer is c. 37.5%.
