A processor (or workstation) makes 2 components, A & B, which are then packaged together as the final product (each product sold contains one A and one B). The processor can only handle one component at a time: either it can make As or it can make Bs. There is a setup time when switching from A to B. Current plans are to make 100 units of A, then 100 units of B, then 100 units of A, then 100 units of B and so forth where the setup and run times are given below:

Assume packaging of the two components is automated and takes only two seconds per unit of the final product. This packaging time is small enough that you can ignore it.

Question: What is the average hourly output if the setup time for component B is cut in half?
