The Goodparts Company produces a component that is subsequently used in the aerospace industry. The component consists of three parts $($A$,$ B$,$ and C$)$ that are purchased from outside and cost $45,40,$ and $20$ cents per piece, respectively. Parts A and $B$ are assembled first on assembly line $1,$ which produces $155$ components per hour. Part $C$ undergoes a drilling operation before being finally assembled with the output from assembly line $1.$ There are, in total, six drilling machines, but at present only three of them are operational. Each drilling machine drills part $C$ at a rate of $50$ parts per hour. In the final assembly, the output from assembly line $1$ is assembled with the drilled part C$.$ The final assembly line produces at a rate of $175$ components per hour. At present, components are produced eight hours a day and five days a week. Management believes that if the need arises, it can add a second shift of eight hours for the assembly lines.

The cost of assembly labor is $25$ cents per part for each assembly line; the cost of drilling labor is $15$ cents per part. For drilling, the cost of electricity is $2$ cents per part. The total overhead cost has been calculated as $$1,100$ per week. The depreciation cost for equipment has been calculated as $$20$ per week.

a$.$ Determine the process capacity $($number of components produced per weent$)$ of the entire process.
