    25%

    Explanation:

    The capacity cushion is basically the spare operating capacity that a company has, and it includes all the different services that the company might offer, e. g. spare capacity of a factory, spare capacity of hotel rooms, spare capacity of web hosting, etc.

    The capacity cushion is generally measured as a percentage of total operating capacity = [total operating capacity - total amount of services provided) / total operating capacity] x 100 = [ (360,000 - 270,000) / 360,000] x 100 = (90,000 / 360,000) x 100 = 25%

    = 25%

    Explanation:

    Capacity cushion is the excess of the of the available capacity over and above the utilized capacity. This then can be expressed as a percentage by multiplying by 100.

    Available capacity = 360,000 customers per year

    Utilized capacity = 270,000 customers per year

    Spare capacity = (available - utilized) / available * 100

    = (360,000 - 270,000) / 360,000 * 100

    = 25%
