A foundry produces circular utility access hatches (manhole covers). Currently, 120 covers are produced in a 10-hour shift. If labor productivity can be increased by 20%, it would then be: 14.4 covers/hr. 24 covers/hr. 240 covers/hr. 1200 covers/hr. 10 covers/hr.

    14.4 covers/hr.

    Explanation:

    First, we need to identify how much covers are produced in 1 hour, which will be total produced divided by the total time:

    covers/hr = 120/10

    covers/hr = 12

    If the production will be increased by 20%, it means that new production will be the initial one plus 20% (0.20) of it:

    12 + 0.20*12 = 14.4 covers/hr.
