    Margin of safety - Units = 3350

    Margin of safety - Sales Revenue = $251250

    Explanation:

    Margin of Safety indicates how much sales may decrease before a loss can be made.

    Margin of safety - Units

    Margin of safety - Units = 5000-1650 = 3350

    Margin of Safety as a % = 3350/5000 * 100 = 67%

    Margin of safety - Sales Revenue

    Expected Sales = (5000 * $75) = $375000

    Margin of Safety = $375000 * 67% = $251250
