Question

An electronics company makes devices for two different federal agencies. The company just completed the two contracts. The Homeland Security contract was for 2,200 devices and took 27 workers two weeks (40 hours per week) to complete. The DEA contract was for 5,454 devices that were produced by 35 workers in three weeks. Calculate the productivity for the Homeland Security contract in units produced per labor hour. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.)

Answer 1

Answer: 1.02 unit per hour

Explanation: total unit of devices for homeland security is 2200 units

Total labourer = 27 people

Total hour for two weeks = 40 × 2 = 80

Productivity per hour = devices number/total hour 2200/ 80 = 27.5

productivity for the Homeland Security contract in units produced per labor hour = 27.5/27 = 1.0185 = 1.02
