Final Answer : C, Explanation :  To calculate the MCE, we need to first find the total time of the manufacturing cycle, which is the sum of processing time and inspection time.Total time = Processing time + Inspection time = 27 + 9 = 36 minutesMCE = Processing time / Total time = 27 / 36 = 0.75However, the MCE is asking for the ratio of value-added time to total time, which excludes inspection time.Value-added time = Processing time = 27 minutes.MCE = Value-added time / Total time = 27 / 36 = 0.75Therefore, the MCE is closest to 0.30 (or 30%).
