A recession means that for example in the mining industry the prices of metals falls so the result is that often companies cut back on production and lay workers and staff off, or sometimes shut whole mines down completely.

Answer:
(36 /60 ) * 100
Explanation:
Based on the information given the capacity utilization percentage will be :
Capacity utilization percentage= (36 /60 ) * 100
Capacity utilization percentage=60%
Where,
36 per day represent Actual repairs number
60 repairs per day represent Design capacity
Therefore capacity utilization percentage is (36 /60 ) * 100

Explanation:
Farmers Bank
Effective annual rate is calculated with the formula:
= (1 + Rate / number of compounding period in a year) ^ number of compounding periods in a year - 1
= ( 1 + 5%/4 quarters) ⁴ - 1
= 5.09%
Merchants bank's rate is already an annual figure so there is no need for conversion.
Difference is:
= 6% - 5.09%
= 0.91%
