1. **Problem Statement:**
Identify the break-even level of output from the graph and calculate the margin of safety if the business operates at maximum output.
2. **Understanding Break-Even Point:**
The break-even point is where total costs equal total revenue. At this point, the business makes zero profit but also incurs no loss.
3. **From the Graph:**
- Fixed Costs are constant at £10,000.
- Total Costs start at £10,000 and increase with output.
- Revenue starts at £25,000 and decreases with output.
- The lines for Total Costs and Revenue intersect at approximately 400 units.
4. **Break-Even Output:**
The break-even output is where Total Costs = Revenue, which is at 400 units.
5. **Maximum Output:**
From the graph, the maximum output is 800 units.
6. **Margin of Safety Formula:**
$$\text{Margin of Safety} = \text{Maximum Output} - \text{Break-Even Output}$$
7. **Calculate Margin of Safety:**
$$\text{Margin of Safety} = 800 - 400 = 400 \text{ units}$$
8. **Interpretation:**
The business can produce 400 units above the break-even point before it starts incurring losses.
**Final Answer:**
The break-even output is 400 units.
The margin of safety at maximum output (800 units) is 400 units.
