Explanation / Answer

Company is operating at 100% capacity based on the question given, so for any growth in sales, company would need to invest in fixed assets.

The growth or change in fixed assets would be proportional to growth in sales.

Growth in sales = ($1,988,746.84/$1,515,582.11) - 1 = 31.22%

There should be proportional growth in assets as well.

New Net fixed assets = $3,915,125.94 * (1 + 31.22%) = $5,137,428.25

Change in net fixed assets = $5,137,428.25 - $3,915,125.94 = $1,222,302.31(Option 3)
