Kennywood Inc., a manufacturing firm, is able to produce 1,500 pairs of pants per hour, at maximum efficiency. There are three eight−hour shifts each day. Due to unavoidable operating interruptions, production averages 850 units per hour. The plant actually operates only 28 days per month. Based on the current budget, Kennywood estimates that it will be able to sell only 504,000 units due to the entry of a competitor with aggressive marketing capabilities. But the demand is unlikely to be affected in future and will be around 516,000. Assume the month has 30 days. What is the theoretical capacity for the month?
Answer:
1,080,000 units
Explanation:
Given the information below;
Theoretical capacity per hour = 1,500 units per hour
Hours per shift = 8 hours
Number of shifts in each day = 3
Number of days per month = 30
Theoretical capacity for the month
= Theoretical capacity per hour × number of shift per day × hours per shift/day × number of days in a month
= 1,500 × 3 × 8 × 30
= 1,080,000 units
