a. Theoretical capacitybased on two shifts, completion of four motorcycles per shift, and a 360-day year2 x 4 x 360 = 2,880. b. Practical capacitytheoretical capacity adjusted for unavoidable interruptions, breakdowns, and so forth2 x 3 x 320 = 1,920. c. Normal capacity utilizationestimated at 1,200 units. d. Master-budget capacity utilizationthe strengthening stock market and the growing popularity of motorcycles have prompted the marketing department to issue an estimate for 2017 of 1,500 units.
