The longest average travel time on a voyage that allows C&A Cruise to meet its goal of serving 2000 passengers per week if its ships always travel fully loaded is 2.5 weeks.

Explanation:

here consider the inventory as passengers

inventory on voyage = 10*500 passengers

= 5000 passenger s

passenger serving rate = flow rate

= 2000 passenger per week

flow time = inventory on voyage / passenger serving rate i. e flow rate

= 5000 passenger / 2000 passenger per week

= 2.5 weeks

Therefore, The longest average travel time on a voyage that allows C&A Cruise to meet its goal of serving 2000 passengers per week if its ships always travel fully loaded is 2.5 weeks.
