Answer 1

e. None of the above

300 customers per week

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of weekly capacity of the cashier operation is shown below:-

4 Cashiers managed to deliver 40 customers an hour production to the beggars.

So, for 1 cashier the capacity will be 10 customers per hour.

Now, in a week of 5 days and 6 hours per day,

we have a total of 30 hours

The one single cashier the capacity will be

Capacity =Total hours × Customer per hour

30 × 10

= 300 customers per week
