Explanation:

a.) What are the maximum and minimum cycle times?

The maximum cycle time is 40 minutes and the minimum cycle time is 4.0 minutes.

b.) How much daily output will be achieved by each of those cycle times?

The daily output rate is determined by the following equation CT = A/R

For maximum cycle time = 400/40 = 10 units per day

For minimum cycle time= 400/4.0 = 100 units per day
