EvenFlo Pipes forecasts a small increase in sales next year. To achieve this growth in sales, however, the firm must purchase an amount of plant and equipment that is more than double the increase in sales. What is the most likely reason EvenFlo must purchase such a large amount of fixed assets

a. The firm must purchase lumpy assets to achieve the increase in sales.

Explanation:

EvenFlo Pipes needs to sell more pipes in order to see an increase in sales. Assuming they are the producers, they will need to produce more pipes than they have been doing and this will need them to increase their production capacity.

To do so they would have to invest in fixed assets as these are what produce pipes. This is why the firm will have to purchase lumpy assets that will help them produce and sell more pipes.
