    c. 30.0%

    Explanation:

    FA = fixed assets

    FA / Sales = fixed assets / net sales.

    75% of assets generates 250 millions in sales

    full capacity will use 100% of the fixed assets capacity. Therefore sales for:

    250,000 /.075 = 333,33 millions

    The target fixed asset turnover should be of:

    100,000 / 333,33 = 0,3000030000 = 30%
