Can you explain me what is the assets = capital + liabilities
Tex-House builds and sells houses for $200,000 each. The firms fixed costs are $3,000,000. 50 houses are built and sold each year. Profits total about $2,000,000. The firm estimates that it can change its production process by adding 4,000,000 to investment and $1,000,000 to fixed costs. This would reduce variable costs by $30,000 and increase output by 30 units. To permit sales of the new output, prices would have to be lowered by $20,000 per unit. Should the firm make the change? At the new production level, what price would make profits equal zero? Will the new production situation expose the firm to more or less risk?
