Answer :
Final answer:
The weekly capacity of the work cell, operating 10 hours per day and 5 days per week, and assuming one unit is produced per hour, would be 50 units per week, which corresponds to option A.
Explanation:
The requires an understanding of the concept of capacity in operations management, within the field of business. The firm operates for 10 hours per day, 5 days per week. To find out the weekly production capacity, we need to have information on the production rate, which is not directly provided in the question. However, the question likely assumes that one unit is produced per hour, a standard assumption in the absence of specific productivity rates. Therefore, if the work cell operates continuously without disruptions, the calculation for weekly capacity would be as follows:
- Total hours per day: 10 hours
- Days per week: 5 days
- Weekly capacity: 10 hours/day * 5 days/week = 50 units/week
Hence, the correct answer would be option A) 50 units. It is essential to note that any variation from the standard one unit per hour productivity rate would change this answer.
