Answer:
$3,511
Explanation:
The given data:
Current year: operating at 98 percent with sales $28,400
Forecast of next year: sales = $35,000
the firm currently has fixed assets of $16,900 and total assets of $24,600
Current maximum capacity = $28,400 / .98 = $28,979.59
Required addition to fixed assets = [($16,900 / $28,979.59) × $35,000] – $16,900 = $3,511
