Answer: Design capacity = 20 jobs/week.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Actual output = 8 jobs per week
So, 80% of effective capacity = actual output
[tex]0.8\times x=8\\\\x=\dfrac{8}{0.8}\\\\x=10\ jobs/week[/tex]
50% of design capacity = effective capacity.
So, it becomes,
[tex]0.5\times \text{design capacity}=10\\\\\text{design capacity}=\dfrac{10}{0.5}=20\ jobs/week[/tex]
Hence, Design capacity = 20 jobs/week
The design capacity that would be needed to achieve an actual output of eight jobs per week is 20 per week.
First step is to calculate the effective capacity using this formula
Effective capacity=Actual output per week/Actual output of effective capacity
Let plug in the formula
Effective capacity=8/0.8
Effective capacity=10 per week
Now let calculate the design capacity
Design capacity=10/0.5
Design capacity=20 per week
Inconclusion the design capacity that would be needed to achieve an actual output of eight jobs per week is 20 per week.
