Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The equipment being purchased (lathes, planing mills, drill presses) is general-purpose and can be used for a variety of tasks. Special-purpose equipment is designed for a specific task, such as a machine that only cuts keyways in gears. Product-layout refers to arranging equipment in a particular order to facilitate the production of a specific product, which is not applicable in this case. Automated equipment would involve the use of robots or other machinery that performs tasks without human intervention, which is not mentioned in the scenario.
