answer : 13156
Explanation:
Considering only products primarily in the core segment last year.
they are : Ant, cone, cute,Drat and Daze
From the question it is assumed that Chester's product Cute and other products in its Core segment will be increased by 10% this year hence we will calculate the 10% increase of each core product and add it to its initial value
For ANT (1550)
will become = 1550 + ( 10% * 1550 ) = 1705
For CONE ( 1050 )
will become = 1050 + ( 10% * 1050 ) = 1155
For Cute ( 1300 )
will become = 1300 + (10% * 1300 ) = 1430
For Drat ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
For DAZE ( 1040 )
will become = 1040 + ( 10% * 1040 ) = 1144
The total capacity of the current year = 1705 + 1155 + 1430 + 1144 + 1144 = 6578
Hence the Total capacity the Industry will produce in the core next year still applying the 10% increment will be = 2 * 6578 = 13156
