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

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%
