    The correct answer is $124,324.

    Explanation:

    The basic formula to calculate margin of safety is

    Budgeted sales - Break even sales.

    Here in this question the information we need to calculate the margin of safety from above formula is not provided. We will then use Contribution margin ratio to calculate margin of safety as,

    Contribution Margin = (Sales - Variable Cost) / Sales

    74 % = Operating Income / Sales

    Sales = $92,000 / 74%

    = $124,324.
