Explanation / Answer

4.7 minutes per gallon, alternate between 1 unit of chocolate and 2 units of vanilla

Explanation:

Talk time = Production time available / Weekly demand

C&A company works 8 hours per day * 5 days a week

Total production time available = 8 hour * 5 days = 40 hours per week

8 hours * 60 = 480 minutes per day

Average demand of chocolate per day = (20 + 60 + 30 + 50 + 10) / 5 = 170/5 = 34 gallons per day

Average demand of vanilla per day = (40 + 100 + 30 + 70 + 100)/ 5 = 340 / 5 = 68 gallons per day

Total demand = 34 +68 = 102 gallons

Talk time = 480 / 102 = 4.7

C&A should schedule the production of its ice cream, 1 unit of chocolate and 2 units of vanilla.

Chocolate 34 gallons

Vanilla = 68 gallons

demand = 34 / 68 = 1 / 2 units
