5. A company makes two products X and Y, using a single resource pool. The resource is available for 8 hours a day. The unit loads for X and Y are 15 and 30 minutes per unit, respectively. 5-1. If the company decide to produce X only, calculate the hourly, and the daily capacity. Repeat the hourly and daily capacity calculation for product Y only, similarly (meaning that if this company was about to only produce Y, how many units per hour and per day it could produce?) (5 points) 5-2. The company wishes to produce both products, but not at equal portions. 60% X's and 40% Y's is desired for production. At the indicated percentages, what is the daily capacity of this company? (5 points) Hint 1: find the weighted unit load based on the given portions and apply that in the effective capacity formula. Hint 2: It will be a mistake to allocate 60% of the available time to produce X. Rather, apply hint 1 to make sure the resulting production will be 60% from X units and 40% from Y's
