The profit margin, return on assets and return on equity shows improvement if the expansion plan was taken up, assuming interest and depreciation remain constant. The further expansion may be taken up as it will bring improvement to the company’s profitability. Also, debt-equity ratio is still below 1 hence there is room for the expansion to be taken up.

The new plant would cost $30,000,000. The additional EFN would be $28,256,779. The total EFN would become $36,043,779. This would imply that the capacity utilization would be lower next year, since the new plant would expand capacity much more than the required under SGR.
