The Power of Growth: Industry Capacity in the Core Segment

How much can the industry currently produce in the Core segment without Baldwin's product Brat?

Consider only products primarily in the Core segment last year.

Estimating the Current Industry Capacity in the Core Segment

From the given data, we have the following products in the Core segment: Ant, Cone, Cute, Drat, and Daze. We need to calculate the total industry capacity without Baldwin's product Brat.

By applying a 10% increase to each core product's base capacity, we can determine the current industry capacity in the Core segment:

• Ant: 1550 + (10% x 1550) = 1705
• Cone: 1050 + (10% x 1050) = 1155
• Cute: 1300 + (10% x 1300) = 1430
• Drat: 1040 + (10% x 1040) = 1144
• Daze: 1040 + (10% x 1040) = 1144

Adding up the new capacities of each product:

Total Current Industry Capacity = 1705 + 1155 + 1430 + 1144 + 1144 = 6578

Therefore, the industry can currently produce 6578 units in the Core segment without Baldwin's product Brat. With a 10% increment, the total capacity for the next year will be 13156 units.
