Which of the following statements is correct?
A) When we use the AFN formula, we assume that the ratios of assets and liabilities to sales (A*/S0 and L*/S0) vary from year to year in a stable, predictable manner.
B) Firms whose fixed assets are "lumpy" frequently have excess capacity, and this should be accounted for in the financial forecasting process.
C) For a firm that uses lumpy assets, it is impossible to have small increases in sales without expanding fixed assets.
D) When fixed assets are added in large, discrete units as a company grows, the assumption of constant ratios is more appropriate than if assets are relatively small and can be added in small increments as sales grow
