a. Assume that the company was operating at full capacity in 2006 with regard to all items except fixed

assets (operating rooms and support space); fixed assets in 2006 were utilized to only 75 percent of

capacity. By what percentage could 2007 revenues increase over 2006 revenues without the need for an

increase in fixed assets?

b. Now suppose 2007 revenues increase by 25 percent over 2006 revenues. Use the constant growth

method to develop a pro forma balance sheet and income statement as in Table 14.3. Assume that

Gainesville cannot sell any fixed assets and that any financing required is borrowed as notes payable at

an interest rate of 12 percent.
