Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find out the full-time equivalent employees, we need to add up the total number of hours worked by both full-time and part-time employees and then divide by the number of hours worked by a full-time employee in a day.

Total number of hours worked per day by full-time employees = 8 x 2,000 = 16,000 
Total number of hours worked per day by part-time employees = 4 x 800 = 3,200

Total number of hours worked per day by all employees = 16,000 + 3,200 = 19,200

Number of full-time equivalent employees = 19,200 / 8 = 2,400

Therefore, the answer is C.
