Respuesta :

There should be an increase in sales of $189,473.68.

Full capacity sales = Current sales ÷ Current capacity

It is given that,

Current sales = $600000

Current capacity = 76% = 0.76

Thus,

Full capacity sales = Current sales ÷ Current capacity

= $600000 ÷ 0.76

= 7,89,473.68

Thus, there is a need to increase the sales by $1,89,473.68 i.e. $789473.68 - $600000
