Okay, I've been having trouble with this question for a while now, I need to find the margin of safety in dollars. I know that the formula for it is:
budget sales - breakeven sales x selling price.
BUT, the information I have to do the question didn't include a selling price. How do I find it?
Here's the info:

X Company is currently selling 15,000 units. Total fixed costs are $60,000, and CM per unit is $8.00. The company's tax rate is 30 percent.
