Answer:
The capacity of the lathe department is 3200 parts/week. The workers capacity is the bottleneck.
Explanation:
In this case we have to compare the machine capacity and the worker capacity, and detecting shich one is limitating the capacity of the department.
Machine capacity
The time it takes for a machine to process a batch is
In 40-hour week, every machine can process 2 batches/week.
With 20 machines, the capacity of the department is 2*20=40 batch/week (4000 pcs/week).
Workers capacity
With 40-hour week and 5-hours setup, every worker can make (40/5)=8 setups a week.
If the department has 4 workers, the amount of setups that can be done is 4*8=32 setups/week. That means that only 32 batches can be processed per week (3200 pcs/week).
The workers resource is the limitating capacity, and therefore the capacity of the lathe department.

Answer:
The answer is: David should make pizza and John should make pasta.
Explanation:
John is more efficient at producing both pizza and pasta, but considering he can only make one at a time we calculate David´s productivity compared to John´s.
David is 80% as productive as John in making pizza, and only 75% as productive in making pasta.
David should be in charge of making pizza because his productivity is closest to John´s.
This may be true or false depending on the situation.
Explanation:
If countering in the inflation, banks were giving negative values all the time to their consumers they would not survive in the game.
But this is not to say this is not a practice that has been done to the unsuspecting people who have wanted to invest money.
They are being given policies and rates that after countering inflation are actually in loss for them as they do not grow as much as the money would have devalued by then.
This is however quite rare and is a malpractice.
