Answer:

Productivity is measured by the amount of output per unit of input.

In this case, the inputs will be the hours spent doing research and writing their essays. Output will equal the amount of pages written.

Marci spent 8 hours and wrote a 26 page long report, so her productivity = 26 pages / 8 hours = 3.25 pages per hour

Jack spent 20 hours and wrote a 26 page long report, so his productivity = 26 pages / 20 hours = 1.3 pages per hour

Marci is much more productive in terms of hours spent doing and writing, and how long the report is.

The problem with this type of analysis is that we do not know if Marci's report was good or bad, and the same applies to Jack's. Since we do not know what grade they got, we cannot be sure how effective their work was.

Given: Total shift time = 8 hours = 8 * 60 = 480 minutes

time required for production of one saw = 6 minutes

Demand for Bow saw = Demand for frame saw = Demand for dovetail saw = 1/2 * Demand of Tenon saw

The length of cycle will be 5*6=30 minutes i.e. the cycle will repeat once in 30 minutes for 8 hours means totally it will repeat 16 times during one shift.

c) Number of saws Swenson produce in one shift = Number of Bow saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Frame saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Dovetail saw Swenson produce in one shift + Number of Tenon saw Swenson produce in one shift

evablogger [386]

Answer:

3. People don’t act as the Fed hopes.
