| 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. |
