Answer:

<u>20 years</u>

creativ13 [48]

Question Completion:

Figures in thousands (000):

Product Segment    Capacity Next Round

Dug             Core                1200

Dune     Core                1450

Beetle     Core                1040

Bat             Core                1050

New     Core                100

Adam     Core               1200

Answer:

Chester Company

Competitive Intelligence Report:

Based on the increased 10% capacity, the industry can produce 6,644 units.

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Product Segment    Capacity Next Round    Increased Capacity (1.1)

Dug             Core                1,200                    1,320

Dune     Core                1,450                    1,595

Beetle     Core                1,040                     1,144

Bat             Core                1,050                    1,155

New     Core                   100                        110

Adam     Core               1,200                    1,320

Total                                     6,040                   6,644

b) Each of the core segment products can be increased by the increased capacity factor of 1.10 (1 + i), where "i" is the rate of capacity increase.  Alternatively, the total capacity in the current period can be increased by the increased capacity factor.  Either way, produces the same result of an increased capacity of 6,644 units that the industry can produce.  The result also shows that the options provided in the question are not correct.  They must have been based on other assumptions.
