A donut store is open 8 hours a day and sells two types of donuts – blueberry cake donut and chocolate frosted donut. On average the demand is 80 donuts per day for EACH type. The store has only one machine which makes both types, and once it starts, it produces one donut every 2 minutes for either type. The production alternates between the two types, i. e., a batch of one type is followed by a batch of the other. The setup time is 20 minutes for either type. Assume the same batch size all the time for both types.

(a) If the batch size is 10 donuts per batch, what is the capacity per day for each type of donut?
(b) What is the minimal batch size in order to satisfy demand for both types?
