An executive conference centre has the physical ability to handle 1,100 participants. However, conference management personnel believe that only 1,000 participants can be handled effectively for most events. The last event, although forecasted to have 1,000 participants, resulted in the attendance of only 950 participants. What are the utilization and efficiency of the conference facility?

Utilization

Final Answer :
Design Capacity = 1,100 participants
Effective Capacity = 1,000 participants
Actual Output = 950 participants
Utilization =  actual output  design capacity \frac { \text { actual output } } { \text { design capacity } } design capacity  actual output  = 9501,100\frac { 950 } { 1,100 }1,100950 = 86.4%
Efficiency =  actual output  design capacity \frac { \text { actual output } } { \text { design capacity } } design capacity  actual output  = 9501000\frac { 950 } { 1000 }1000950 = 95.0%
