    its capacity utilization rate for the month is 90.77%

    Explanation:

    The capacity utilisation rate can be expressed mathematically as;

    Capacity utilisation rate = capacity used/Best operating level * 100%

    Given;

    Total Number of production time = 205hours

    Production output/capacity used = 21400 units

    Best operation rate = 115units/hour

    Best operation output for the month of July (at best operation level)

    =115units/hour * 205 hours = 23575 units

    Capacity utilisation rate = 21400/23575 * 100%

    = 90.77%
