Berkeley Manufacturing Company (BMC) employs a four-step production process to produce metal-alloycoated precision parts. The first step is fabrication. The fabrication machine takes 7.5 minutes per unit to mold raw material into the proper shape of a part. The second step is coating. The coating machine applies a layer of one of many metal alloys at high heat. The coating machine takes 24 minutes, and it can coat up to six units of parts (of the same metal alloy) at a time. The third step is cooling. It takes 50 minutes for a coated part to cool. No equipment is required for this step, and there is plenty of cooling space. The fourth step is polishing, which takes 5 minutes per part. For simplicity, we assume the production system operates continuously (i. e., 24 hours a day) and that the system has been running for some time. A) Currently, XYZ is following a production sequence in which each part produced is a coated with a different alloy than the last one (e. g., an aluminum-alloy part is followed by a titanium-alloy part, which is followed by a bronze-alloy part, etc.). As a result, the coating machine can coat one unit at a time. What is the capacity of the production process?
B) In February, XYZ purchased an additional polishing machine. What is the capacity of the production process now?
C) In March, XYZ changed to produce parts in batches of two (e. g., produce two aluminum-alloy parts, followed by two titanium-alloy parts, which is followed by two bronze-alloy parts, etc.). What is the capacity of the production process now (assume no setup time for each batch)?
D) In April, XYZ purchased a second coating machine. (XYZ continues to produce parts in batches of two). What is the capacity of the production process now?
E) In April, XYZ installed fans throughout the cooling space which reduced the cooling time to 15 minutes. What is the capacity of the production process now?

(05.04 mc) a 2012 report from the u.s. surgeon general stated: "another common practice is strategically locating tobacco-related marketing materials where young children will be exposed to them. tobacco industry executives acknowledge that products and advertising should be placed at eye level (pollay 2007), but in california, 48% of stores had at least one cigarette marketing item at or below 3 feet from the floor (feighery et al. 2001)." it was also noted that 25% of cigarette displays were next to candy. in addition, a national study found that about one-third of the stores had tobacco ads at low heights. after california banned counter displays, some stores place cigarettes in transparent displays so product brands could still be seen. why did some stores use transparent units to display the cigarettes? (3 points) to comply with the new rules while still encouraging cigarette purchases via visual exposure to ensure children and minors are not exposed to cigarettes and their eye-catching packaging to minimize exposure to humidity, extending the shelf life of the cigarettes' tobacco to reduce the occurrence of shoplifting, since cigarettes are high-revenue items
