Answer:

The amount that plant earns per man hour after (t) years it open is $80
(1.05)^(\textrm t) .

Explanation:

Given as :

The earning of manufacturing plant when it opened = $ 80 per man hour

The rate of plant earning per man hour = 5 %

Let The earning of plant after t years = A( t )

So,

The earning of plant after t years = initial earning ×
(1+ (\textrm rate)/(100))^(\textrm Time)

Or, A(t) = $ 80 ×
(1+ (\textrm 5)/(100))^(\textrm t)

or, A(t) = $ 80 ×
(1.05)^(\textrm t)

Hence The amount that plant earns per man hour after (t) years it open is $80
(1.05)^(\textrm t) . Answer
