Answer:
a. increased by 20%
Explanation:
Productivity is measured by total output/ inputs used
For Buckeye brewing, productivity in 2011 will be.
Units produced is 1000,
inputs of labor used = 10 hours x 8 workers x 365 days
= 10 x 8 x 365
=29,200 hours
productivity = 1000/ 29,200
=0.034 units per day
In 2012, productivity will be : units produced equal 960
inputs of labor used = 8 x 8 x 365= 23 360
productivity = 960/ 23 360= 0.041 units per day
the difference in productivity between 2011 and 2012
= 0.041 - 0.034
=0.007 increase in productivity
percentage increase
= 0.007/0.034 x 100
=0.20 X 100
=20%
