Together, they produced a batch of 144 garments. Of these?garments, 52 were? 'seconds' (meaning that they were? flawed). The seconds were sold for ?$100 each at a factory outlet store. The remaining 92 garments were sold to retail outlets at a price of?$198per garment. What was the labor productivity in dollars per?labor-hour at? Natalie's shop?
Labor productivity? = ?__________ dollars/labor hour ?(round your response to two decimal? places).
Answer:
Labor productivity in dollars per labor-hour = Output in dollars/Employee hours used
= Output in dollars = Second units*price + New*price
= 52*100 + 92*198 = 23416 $
Employee hours used = number of employees*hours each worked = 8*48 = 384 hours
Labor productivity = 23416/384 = 60.979 = 60.98
