The following table provides information on a process, whose sequence of flow is A $->$ B

$($any available equipment can be used$)->$ C $->$ D $($any available equipment can be used$)$:

$($a$)$ Calculate the overall daily design capacity and effective capacity for the entire

process. Assume $8$ hours a day.

$($b$)$ If we increase the design capacity of the equipment for Operation C by $15$ percent,

what would be the new design capacity and effective capacity of this process?
