Question

This year, Clearwater Inc., will produce 55,600 hot water heaters at its plants in Harrisburg, PA in order to meet its expected demand. To accomplish this, each laborer at the Clearwater Plant will work 150 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.20 water heaters per labor-hour, How many heaters can one labor produce every month?

Answer 1

A single laborer at the Clearwater Plant, with a productivity rate of 0.20 heaters per labor-hour and working 150 hours per month, is expected to produce 30 hot water heaters each month.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the labor productivity at the Clearwater Plant is 0.20 water heaters per labor-hour, we can calculate how many heaters one laborer can produce in a month by multiplying the productivity rate by the number of hours worked per month.

One laborer works 150 hours per month. Therefore, the number of heaters one laborer can produce every month is:

0.20 heaters/labor-hour × 150 hours/month = 30 heaters/month

Thus, a single laborer at Clearwater Inc. is expected to produce 30 hot water heaters each month.

Answer 2

Working 150 hours and producing 0.2 water heater per hour, each worker produce 30 heater per month.

Step-by-step explanation:

the productivity is 0.20 water heater per labor-hour

during the month an employee works 150 hours

to know the amount of water heater per laborer, we will multiply the productivity rate by the amount of hours per month

150 hours x 0.2 = 30 water heater

Each employee produces 30 water heater.
