Answer 1

Answer:

Productivity = 2.35 cars / $

Explanation:

Given:

Total number of car per hour = 200

Total number of washers = 5

Wages per hour each washer = $6

Per hour water expenses = $50

Per hour electricity expenses = $5

Computation of total expenses per hour:

Total expenses per hour = (Total number of washers x Wages per hour) + Per hour water expenses + Per hour electricity expenses

Total expenses per hour = (5 x $6) + $50 + $5

Total expenses per hour = $30 + $50 + $5

Total expenses per hour = $85

Computation of productivity:

Productivity = Total number of car per hour / Total expenses per hour

Productivity = 200 / $85

Productivity = 2.35 cars / $
