Question: 1 / 940

What was the actual backlog for day 56 if the previous actual backlog was 6 hours, actual input was 16 hours, and actual output was 14 hours?

-7 hours

0 hours

6 hours

8 hours

To determine the actual backlog for day 56, you start with the previous backlog and then adjust it based on the actual input and actual output for that day.

The backlog is calculated using the formula:

**New Backlog = Previous Backlog + Actual Input - Actual Output.**

Given the details:

- Previous actual backlog = 6 hours

- Actual input = 16 hours

- Actual output = 14 hours

Inserting these values into the formula gives:

New Backlog = 6 hours + 16 hours - 14 hours

New Backlog = 6 hours + 2 hours

New Backlog = 8 hours.

Thus, the actual backlog for day 56 is 8 hours. This is correct as it accurately reflects the adjustment of backlog considering both the inputs and outputs for that specific day.
