The labor productivity is $80.63 per labor hour

Explanation:

Number of workers = 8

Worker payment = $10 per hour

Working hours in first week of march = 40 hours

Number of production of garments (Firsts) = 156 garments

Number of production of garments (seconds) = 54 garments

Remaining production = Firsts - seconds

= 156 - 54 = 102 garments

Price of seconds = $100

Price of remaining production = $200

Labor productivity = [ (Number of seconds * price of seconds) + (Number of remaining * price of remaining) ] : (Number of laborers * hours per week)

= [ (54 * 100) + (102 * 200) ] : (8 * 40)

= [ 5400 + 20,400] : 320

= 25,800 : 320

= $80.63
