    25,000

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Time taken from first step to final step, cycle time = 1.25 hours

    Demand for candy bars = 20,000

    Throughput time = 20,000 candy bars per hour

    Candies in process is work in progress:

    = cycle time * Throughput time

    = 1.25 hours * 20,000 candy bars per hour

    = 25,000

    Therefore,

    25,000 candy bars are in process, on average.
