Blue Clinic's directors are budgeting for administrative staff for next year. They need to plan for enough capacity to handle patients in the clinic's three practice areas, urgent care, general practice, and laboratory. The administrative staff can fluctuate between areas but they are primarily assigned to one of these stations. There are 34 staff members total, 28 working full-time and 6 working 30 hours per week. Each staff member works 50 weeks each year. Last year, total DL cost (including benefits) for all administrative staff amounted to $1.3 million. The administrators expected 80% of their staff's available time to be dedicated to the key tasks of their job. The time estimates for the key tasks are as follows. Urgent care check in General practice check-in Laboratory procedure processing Number of hours Minutes Number of minutes 10 Calculate the total theoretical capacity of the administrative staff, as well as its practical capacity for completing tasks Theoretical Capacity 5 hours minutes Practical Capacity hours minutes
