Answer 1

a.Level of sales at full capacity= $4 billion/ 0.95

                                                          = $4,210,526,316.

b.Target fixed assets to sales ratio= 4 billion/ $1 billion

                                                                  = 1.00

c.To meet the target asset to sales ratio, sales are increased as a fraction of sales.

= $1 billion*8%

= $80,000,000
