Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, we need to find the maximum number of trailers that can be played in a day. 
6 showings a day x 8 trailers per showing = 48 trailers

However, due to theater cleaning time, only 32 trailers are played per day.

To find the Effective capacity utilization, we can use the formula:

Effective capacity utilization = Actual output / Design capacity

In this case, our actual output is 32 trailers and our design capacity is 48 trailers.

Effective capacity utilization = 32 / 48 = 0.667 = 66.7%

Therefore, the best choice is B, with an Effective capacity utilization of 66.7%.
