The correct answer is: D. Difference between actual sales and Break Even sales.
Margin of safety is the amount of sales revenue that a company can lose before it starts to incur a loss. It is calculated by subtracting the break-even point from the company’s actual sales revenue.
The break-even point is the point at which a company’s total revenue equals its total costs. At this point, the company is neither making a profit nor a loss.
The margin of safety is important because it measures how much risk a company is taking. A company with a high margin of safety is less risky than a company with a low margin of safety.
