Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Labor productivity is calculated as the total output (in this case, customers served) divided by the total input (in this case, hours worked by all employees). With 5 workers working 8 hours each, the total hours worked per day is 40 hours (5 workers * 8 hours). Serving 20 customers per day with 40 total hours of work results in a labor productivity of 0.5 customers per person per hour (20 customers / 40 hours).
