Aubrey House · Answer 1

Productivity = Units produced / labor hours

0.18 = 16,600 / labor hours

Labor hours = 16600 / 0.18 = 92222.22 hours

1. Hours per labor = labor hours / Number of labor

= 92222.22 / 540 = 170.78 hours

2. Productivity = 0.21

Labor hours = 16600 / 0.21 = 79047.62

Hours per labor = 79047.62 / 540 = 146.38
