B737 Thrustrating

Hello everyone!

I wonder how thrustrating is calculated on B737. If you have a 18,5 K rated engine, which N1 will be 18,5K?

What is 100% N1? Is that the thrust you have bought? (I.e. 18,5K or 20K)

If a company buys only 737s with 18,5 K engines, may they be able to drive their engines at heavier loead than a "23,5K company" would have? If you get 18,5 K when 84,6% N1, why do not cruise at 93,5% if that gives cruiserating for a 23,5K engine?

Thank you for any answer!
