Question

The Acme Aircraft Seat Company produces aircraft seats and is able to assemble 10 seats in 30 minutes using four workers. The single-factor productivity of the firm is ____ seats per labor hour.

Answer 1

The productivity of the firm = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of seats that is assembled in 30 min = 10 seats

Therefore total number of seats assembled in 1 hr = 10 x (60/30) = 20 seats

Total labor hours required for 20 seats = 4 workers x 1hr = 4hrs

The Single-factor productivity = output / labor hours

The Single-factor productivity = 20 seats / 4 hrs

The Single-factor productivity = 5 seats per labor hr
