D.
84 units/hr.
Answers
D.
84 units/hr.
Suggested answer: A

Explanation:

To determine the total production throughput, identify the bottleneck operation, which is the operation with the lowest capacity:

Operation A: 32 units/hr

Operation B: 25 units/hr

Operation C: 40 units/hr

Operation D: 27 units/hr

Operation B has the lowest capacity at 25 units/hr, making it the bottleneck. The total production throughput is limited by this bottleneck operation, which is 25 units/hr.
