Question

A manager checked production records and found that a worker produced 196 units while working 40 hours. In the previous week the same worker produced 120 units while working 30 hours. Compute Current period productivity and Previous period productivity (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.) Current period productivity Units/hr Previous period productivity Units/hr Did the workers productivity increase, decrease or remain the same? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.) Worker's productivity

Explanation / Answer

a) productivity = produced units as output/labor hour

Current period productivity= 196/40 = 4.9 unit per hour

Previous period productivity=120/30 =4 Units per hour

b) Change in productivity = (current period productivity- previous productivity)/previous period productivity

=(4.9-4)/4 = 22.50%

Workers productivity is increased by 22.5%
