Question

Southeastern Oklahoma State University's business program has the facilities and faculty to handle an enrollment of 2,000 new students per semester. However, in an effort to limit class sizes to a "reasonable" level (under 200, generally), Southeastern's dean, Holly Lutze, placed a ceiling on enrollment of 1,500 new students. Although there was ample demand for business courses last semester, conflicting schedules allowed only 1,450 new students to take business courses. The utilization rate for Southeastern = % (enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place). The efficiency rate for Southeastern = %(enter your response as a percentage rounded to one decimal place).

Explanation / Answer

Utilization rate is = (actual output / designed capacity) X 100

Efficiency rate is = (actual output / Effective capacity) X 100

Actual output = 1450

Designed capacity = 2000

Effective capacity = 1500

Therefore:

The Utilization rate for Southeastern = (1450/2000) X 100 = 72.5%

The Efficiency rate for Southeastern = (1450/1500) X 100 = 96.6% (and not 75%)
