    A. 14 units

    Explanation:

    Contribution Per unit = Sales price - variable cost per unit

    = $800 - $470

    = $330

    Break Even sales in units = Fixed Cost / Contribution per unit

    = $8,580/$330

    = 26 units

    Margin of Safety = Total sales units - Break even sales in units

    = 40 units - 26 units

    = 14 units

    Therefore, if Antique expects to sell 40 units per month, his margin of safety expressed in units per month is 14 units.
