Verified step by step guidance1
Understand the concept of margin of safety: It represents the amount by which sales exceed the break-even sales, indicating the cushion available before the company incurs a loss.
Identify the formula for margin of safety in dollars: Margin of Safety = Sales - Break-even Sales.
Substitute the given values into the formula: Sales = \$500,000 and Break-even Sales = \$400,000.
Perform the subtraction operation: Calculate \$500,000 - \$400,000 to determine the margin of safety.
Interpret the result: The margin of safety in dollars represents the financial buffer Ralph Corporation has above its break-even point.
