B)may increase over time due to improvements in plant layout.
C)may decrease over time due to efficiencies offered by new technologies.
D)Both A and B are correct.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Practical capacity may increase over time due to improvements in plant layout. While it cannot be altered without a major plant expansion, it is not necessarily set in stone and can be improved through changes in layout, processes, and technology. Therefore, option B is the best choice. Option C is incorrect because new technologies usually improve practical capacity rather than decrease it, and Option A is incorrect because while a major plant expansion may be necessary, practical capacity can also be increased without one.
