The answer is: 2500 employees

Explanation:

Giving the following information we need to calculate the number of employees:

Total production = 60000

Hours per worker = 160 hours

labor productivity = 0,15

It takes to a single employee = 1/0,15 = 6,67 hours to make a heater.

Each worker produces=160/6,67=24 heaters a year.

Now we can calculate the number of workers:

60000/24 = 2500 employees
