Answer:

$153,375,000

Explanation:

The computation of margin of safety is shown below:-

Contribution margin = Selling price - Variable cost

= $3,750 - $2,250

= $1,500

Contribution percentage = Contribution margin ÷ Selling price

= $1,500 ÷ $2,750

= 40%

Break even sales = Fixed cost ÷ Contribution margin

= $1,650,000 ÷ 40%

= $4,125,000

Actual sales = 42,000 × $3,750

= $157,500,000

Margin of safety = Actual budget Sales - Break even sales

= $157,500,000 - $4,125,000

= $153,375,000
