Alter Bridge Mfg., Inc., is currently operating at only 95 percent of fixed asset capacity. Current sales are $880,000. Fixed assets are $520,000 and sales are projected to grow to $930,000. How much in new fixed assets are required to support this growth in sales? Assume the company maintains its current operating capacity

The AFN equation assumes that ratios remain constant. However, firms are not always operating at full capacity so adjustments need to be made to the existing asset forecast. Excess capacity adjustments are changes made to the existing asset forecast because the firm is not operating at full capacity. For example, a firm may not be at full capacity with respect to its fixed assets. First, the firm's management must find out the firm's full capacity sales as follows: Next, management would calculate the firm's target fixed assets ratio as follows: Finally, management would use the target fixed assets ratio with the projected sales to calculate the firm's required level of fixed assets as follows: Required level of fixed assets = (Target fixed assets/Sales) × Projected sales Quantitative Problem 2: Mitchell Manufacturing Company has $1,200,000,000 in sales and $360,000,000 in fixed assets. Currently, the company's fixed assets are operating at 80% of capacity.
