Question

The staff training center at a large regional hospital provides training sessions in CPR to all employees. Assume that the design capacity of this training system is 1200 employees per year. Since the training center was first put in use however, the program has become more complex. As a result, 1050 now represents the most employees that can be trained per year; this represents the effective capacity of the training system. In the past year, 950 employees were actually trained. The efficiency of this system is approximately _____ and its utilization is approximately _____.
A. 90.5 percent; 79.2 percent
B. 110.5 percent; 114.3 percent
C. 79.2 percent; 90.5 percent
D. 87.5 percent; 950 employees

Answer 1

Answer:

Option (A) is correct.

Explanation:

Following will be the definitions :

Efficiency = (Actual output ÷ Effective capacity) × 100

Utilization = (Actual output ÷ Design capacity) × 100

Therefore,

Efficiency of the system:

= (950 ÷ 1050) × 100

= 90.47% ( 90.5% rounded to one decimal point)

Utilization :

= (950 ÷ 1,200) × 100

= 79.16% ( 79.2% rounded to one decimal point)
