Question

For a machine, design capacity is 50 cords per day, effective capacity is 40 cords per day, and actual output is anticipated to be 35 cords per day.

a. What would be its utilization?

Answer 1

The utilization of the machine is 70%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The utilization of a machine is the ratio of the actual output to the design capacity. To calculate the utilization, we divide the actual output (35 cords per day) by the design capacity (50 cords per day) and multiply by 100 to express it as a percentage.

Utilization = (Actual Output / Design Capacity) * 100

Utilization = (35 cords / 50 cords) * 100 = 70%
