Monila’s Dinor is operating at 94 percent of its fixed asset capacity and has
current sales of $611,000. How much can the firm grow before any new fixed
assets are needed?
Solution
We divide the current sales ($611,000) by the fixed asset capital (94%). The
full capacity sales is $650,000.
Full capacity sales= $611,000 / 94% = $650,000
Let us find the difference between the full capacity sales ($650,000) and the
current sales ($611,000). The difference is $39,000.
Difference = $650,000 - $611,000 = $39,000
We divide the difference ($39,000) by the current sales ($611,000). The firm
can grow at 6.38% before any new fixed assets are needed.
Since NAL is negative we can say that it is better to buy than leasing
