    51,520 units

    Explanation:

    a. The computation of the capacity of the factory is shown below:

    Capacity of the factory = (Number of workdays in a year - number of given days) * number of hours * number of shifts * number of machines * basis

    = (250 days - 20 days) * 8 hours * 2 shifts * 7 * 2

    = 51,520 units

    We simply applied the above formula to determine the capacity of the factory

    Capacity = 12880 units

    Explanation:

    Work days = 250 - 20 = 230 Shifts / day = 2 Hours / shift = 8 Machines working each time = 7

    Total production time = 230 (2) (8) (7) = 25760 hours

    Time required per good = 30 minutes or 1/2 hour

    So, Total capacity = 25760 x 1/2

    = 12880 units
