Answer:

$2,200,000

Explanation:

Margin of safety means by how much sales can fall before a firm starts making a loss.

Margin of safety  = Current Sales - Break even sales

where,

Break even sales = Fixed Cost ÷ Contribution margin ratio

                             = $800,000 ÷ 0.40

                             = $2,000,000

therefore,

Margin of safety  = $4,200,000 - $2,000,000

                            = $2,200,000
