Suppose a processing step processes two products A and B. The processing step can process 4 units of A in an hour (if it is only processing A) and 6 units of B in an hour (if it is only processing B).

The process needs to maintain a 2:3 ratio between the amounts of A and B produced (i.e., for every two units of A, the process needs to produce three units of B).

Based on this information, please answer the following questions.

1. If the process needss to maintain the 2:3 ratio between A and B produced, which of the following repeating production cycles should be choosen?

A) A,A,A,B,B,...

B) A,A,B,B,B,...

C) A,A,B,B,....

D) A,B,B,B,B,....

2. What would be the capacity of the processing step (in units/hr) if it tries to maintain a 2:3 ratio between A and B produced? If your answer is not an integer, provide at least three decimal places, e.g., 7.500.

3. What fraction of time does the processing step spend in producing A. Note you are being asked for a fraction and not a percentage. Your answer should be between 0 and 1. If your answer is not an integer, provide at least three decimal places, e.g., 7.500.
