Question

If demand for product "A" were forecast at 1,000,000 units for the coming year and your factory has one machine capable of producing 4,500 units per week, how many similar machines might you plan to acquire?

Answer 1

4

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question

Annual demand of product A = 1,000,000 units

Per week production for one machine = 4,500 units

So for annual the production for one week is

= 4,500 weeks × 52 weeks

= 234,000 units

Now the gap left is

= 1,000,000 units - 234,000 units

= 766,000 units

So, the similar machines would be

= 766,000 units ÷ 234,000 units

= 3.27

= 4 round off
