MOS = Total Sales - Break even sales
Here,
Sale Price Per Unit = Rs.9
Total Units Sold= (Rs 180000/9)= 20000 units.
Variable Cost = Rs 6 per unit.
Contribution per unit= (9-6)=Rs 3 per unit.
Break even sales is sales where contribution is just enough to meet the fixed cost.
Fixed Cost here is Rs 54000/-
So, No of Units to be sold to Break Even= (Rs 54000/3)=18000 units.
So, Margin of safety=(20000-18000) = 2000 units.
It means company will start earning profit when its sales go beyond 18000 units.

d contribution is 9-6=3. so BRP in units is 54000\3=18000 units, whereas actual units sold is 20000 units(180000/9)
since we have sold 2000 more units then the amt. required to breakeven, these excess units sold i.e. 2000 units is Margin of safet(in units).
