Answer:
a. Potential Packing Output/hr = (50 loaves/20 min) * 60 min = 150 loaves.
However, the production of 50 loaves takes 60 mins, so the packaging remains idle for 40 mins and the Actual Packing Output/hr = 50 loaves.
Hence, Capacity Utilization = (Actual Output/Potential Output) *100% = (50/150)*100% = 33.33%
b) Production output = 50 loaves/hr = 50 loaves/60 mins
Packing Output = 50 loaves/20 mins
So, to make both the capacities equal, the XYZ Bakery can simultaneously operate three batches to prepare the dough and bake i.e 150 loaves/60 mins for both production as well as packing.
