Question

Gibson Valves produces cast bronze valves on an assembly line, currently producing 1600 valves per shift. If the production is increased to 2000 valves per shift, labor productivity will increase by: Group of answer choices

Answer 1

the increase in the labor productivity is 25%

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the increase in the labor productivity is shown below

= Different in valves per shift ÷ currently production valves per unit

= (2,000 valves - 1,600 valves) ÷ 1,600 valves

= 400 valves ÷ 1,600 valves

= 25%

Hence, the increase in the labor productivity is 25%
