S&S Air is planning for a growth rate of $12$ percent next year. Calculate the EFN for the company assuming the company is operating at full capacity. Can the company's sales increase at this growth rate?

Most assets can be increased as apercentage of sales. For instance, cash can be increased by any amount. However, fixed assets must be increased in specific amounts because it is impossible, as a practical matter, to buy part of a new plant or machine. In this case, a company has a "staircase" or "lumpy" fixed cost structure. Assume S&S Air is currently producing at $100$ percent capacity. As a result, to increase production, the company must set up an entirely new line at a cost of $$5,000,000.$ Calculate the new EFN with this assumption. What does this imply about capacity utilization for the company next year?
