The Baldwin company wants to decrease its plant utilization for Brat by 15%. How many units would need to be produced next year to meet this production goal

1,266 units

Explanation:

A lot of information is missing, but I found a similar question:

total plant capacity = 1,500 / 96% = 1,562.5 units

if plant utilization will decrease by 15% ⇒ 96% - 15% = 81%

plant production to meet required production goal = 1,562.5 x 81% = 1,265.625 = 1,266 units

answer; is usually (less than) the socially optimal level of consumption;
