Explanation:

Hi, your question is incomplete, I found the full question online and uploaded text and image below.

Workings and explanations :

Contribution margin per unit = Sales - Variable Cots

                                                = $200 - $80

                                                = $120

Break even (units) = Fixed Costs ÷ Contribution margin per unit

                               = $600,000 ÷ $120

                               = 5,000 units

Unit Sales to achieve a target profit = (Targeted Profit + Fixed Costs) ÷ Contribution margin per unit

                                                           = ($240,000 + $600,000) ÷ $120

                                                           = 7,000 units

Margin of Safety = Expected sales - Break even Sales

Note : There is no much details about the current sales level
