Answer 1

The answer is: 2500 employees

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information we need to calculate the number of employees:

Total production= 60000

Hours per worker= 160 hours

labor productivity= 0,15

It takes to a single employee= 1/0,15= 6,67 hours to make a heater.

Each worker produces=160/6,67=24 heaters a year.

Now we can calculate the number of workers:

60000/24= 2500 employees
