If demand for pre-nups (P) is 300 pre-nups per workday, and there is no demand for the other products (all marriages are blissful such that there are no annulments or divorces), then what is the (implied) utilization of the "partners"?

Flag question: Question 10Question 101 pts

A party of 5 goes to the Green Iguana. The waiter takes 10 seconds to get from the kitchen to the table (or vice versa), and takes 30 seconds to manually take each person's order at the table. The waiter always starts in the kitchen, goes out to a table, takes the order for the batch (whatever the batch size), and then delivers the order for only that batch back to kitchen. If the waiter takes the table's orders in batches of 1 (only taking the order of 1 person), what is the waiter's total time required to process the orders for the entire table?

Hint: for the first customer it takes 50 seconds, consisting of 10 seconds to go out to the table, plus 30 seconds to take the order, plus 10 seconds to take the order back to the kitchen. For the second customer it similarly takes 50 seconds. And so forth.

Flag question: Question 12Question 121 pts

Numerous parties of size 5 go to the Green Iguana at random times. The Green Iguana employs 5 waiters. A waiter takes 10 seconds to get from the kitchen to the table (or vice versa), and takes 30 seconds to manually take each person's order at the table. A waiter always starts in the kitchen, goes out to a table, takes the order for the batch (whatever the batch size), and then delivers the order for only that batch back to kitchen. In which case will the implied utilization be higher for the waiters - for batch sizes of 5 where there is only one waiter per table who takes the order of all 5 people before going back to the kitchen, or for batch sizes of 1 where 5 waiters go to each table and each waiter takes the order of only 1 person and then delivers that order to the kitchen (and then the 5 waiters go take orders at the next table in similar fashion)?

Group of answer choices

Implied utilization will be the same regardless of batch size

Batch size of 1

Impossible to tell.
