Explanation / Answer

To be calculated:

Utilization rate

Given values:

Design capacity = 2,200 students

Effective capacity = 1,800 students

Actual output / Actual intake = 1,440 students

Solution:

The utilization rate for Southeastern University is calculated as;

Utilization rate = (Actual output / Design capacity) x 100

Putting the given values in the above formula, we get;

Utilization rate = (1440 / 2200) x 100

Utilization rate = 65.45% = 65.5% (rounding to one decimal place)

The utilization rate for Southeastern = 65.5%
