Question

The staff training center at a large regional hospital provides training sessions in CPR to all employees. Assume that the capacity of this training system was designed to be 1200 employees per year. Since the training center was first put into use, the program has become more complex, so that 1050 now represents the most employees that can be trained per year. In the past year, 950 employees were trained. The efficiency of this system is approximately ________ and its utilization is approximately ________.

a. 90.5 percent; 79.2 percent
b. 110.5 percent; 114.3 percent
c. 79.2 percent; 90.5 percent
d. 87.5 percent; 950 employees

Answer 1

Option A,90.5%; 79.2%

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for efficiency ratio is given by :

level of usage/feasible capacity*100

level of usage is 950 employees

feasible capacity is 1050 employees

efficiency ratio=950/1050*100

=90.476%

approximately 90.5%

Utilization =level of usage/planned capacity*100

level of usage is 950 employees

planned capacity is 1200 employees

utilization=950/1200*100

=79.16%

approximately 79.2%

As a result of the above calculations,option A is the correct answer

Answer 2

a. 90.5 percent; 79.2 percent

Step-by-step explanation:

The staff training center at a large regional hospital provides training sessions in CPR to all employees. Assume that the capacity of this training system was designed to be 1200 employees per year. Since the training center was first put into use, the program has become more complex, so that 1050 now represents the most employees that can be trained per year. In the past year, 950 employees were trained. The efficiency of this system is approximately 90.5 percent and its utilization is approximately 79.2 percent

Efficiency = (Actual output ÷ Effective capacity) × 100 :

= (950 ÷ 1050) × 100

= 90.47%

Utilization = (Actual output ÷ Design capacity) × 100

= (950 ÷ 1,200) × 100 = 79.16%
