A manufacturing shop is designed to operate most efficiently at an output of 550 units per day. In the
past month the plant averaged 490 units per day.
What was their capacity utilization rate last month? - (answer)Capacity utilization rate
89.1 ± 0.1
A company has a factory that is designed so that it is most efficient (average unit cost is minimized)
when producing 15,000 units of output each month. However, it has an absolute maximum output
capability of 17,250 units per month, and can produce as little as 7,000 units per month without
corporate headquarters shifting production to another plant. If the factory produces 10,925 units in
October, what is the capacity utilization rate in October for this factory? - (answer)Capacity utilization
rate
72.8 ± 0.1
Hoosier Manufacturing operates a production shop that is designed to have the lowest unit production
cost at an output rate of 100 units per hour. In the month of July, the company operated the production
line for a total of 175 hours and produced 16,900 units of output.
What was its capacity utilization rate for the month? - (answer)Capacity utilization rate
96.6 ± 0.1%
AlwaysRain Irrigation, Inc., would like to determine capacity requirements for the next four years.
Currently two production lines are in place for making bronze and plastic sprinklers. Three types of
sprinklers are available in both bronze and plastic: 90-degree nozzle sprinklers, 180-degree nozzle
sprinklers, and 360-degree nozzle sprinklers. Management has forecast demand for the next four years
as follows:
