Answer: Williamson industries would have obtained $7.78 billion in sales
Explanation: According to the question, the company is having a total of $2 billion in fixed assets. The fixed assets are currently operating at 90% (0.9) of its total capacity. At his level, the company is able to achieve a sales figure of $7 billion. The implication is as follows;
Fixed assets (at 100%) = 2 billion
Fixed assets (at 90%) = 2 * 0.9
Fixed assets (at 90%) = 1.8
If the company utilizes $1.8 billion to achieve a $7 billion sales figure, then operating at full capacity (100%) would yield the following;
7/x = 90/100
(Where x equals sales level at 100% capacity)
7/x = 0.9
Cross multiply
x = 7/0.9
x = 7.7777...
x ≈ 7.78
Therefore, if Williamson Industries had been operating at full capacity, it would have obtained a sales level of $7.78 billion
