Question

Amy​ Xia's plant is designed to produce 10 comma 000 10,000 hammers per day but is limited to making 6 comma 000 6,000 hammers per day because of the time needed to change equipment between styles of hammers. The utilization rate for the plant​ = nothing ​%​ (enter your answer as a percentage rounded to two decimal​ places).

Answer 1

60%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the utilization rate for the plant is shown below:

As we know that

Utilization rate = Actual output ÷ Design capacity

where

Actual output is 6,000 hammers per day

And, the design capacity is 10,000 hammers per day

So by considering the above information, the utilization rate is

= 6,000 hammers per day ÷ 10,000 hammers per day

= 60%

It is always expressed in a percentage form
