This question will help you better understand the capacity of the “Extruding” station. Let’s assume that a batch of dough arrives at the extruding station weighing 6 pounds and each doughnuts requires 1 ounces of dough. The current extruding station has 3 cutters on the machine and each cutter can extrude dough through the machine at 10 doughnuts per minute. After extruding an entire batch of dough, it takes 50 seconds to clean each individual extruding cutter to setup the machine for the next batch. What is the daily doughnut capacity of the “Extruding” station assuming one operator works one eight hour shift? Enter your answer as a number only such as “1456” if you calculate that the station’s capacity as 1,456 doughnuts per day. Whole batches only, please.
