Implied service rate is 7.5 customers per hour

Explanation:

The percentage of time a person spends to do a billable work. It is the time that a firm consume to serve the customers.

Utilization rate = Demand Rate / (Service rate x Number of servers)

90% = 27 / (Service rate x 4)

0.9 = 027 / (Service rate x 4)

Service rate x 4 = 27 / 0.9

Service rate x 4 = 30

Service rate = 30 / 4

Service rate = 7.5 customers per hour
