    Explanation:

    The computation of the target fixed assets sales ratio is shown below:

    As we know that

    Target Fixed asset - Sales ratio is

    = Fixed Assets : Full Capacity Sales

    where,

    Fixed assets is $100 million

    And the full capacity sales is

    = $250 million * 40%

    Now putting these values to the above formula

    So, the target fixed asset sales ratio is

    = $100 million : $250 million * 40%

    = 16%
