Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Productivity is measured as the amount of output per unit of input. In this case, the output is 80 rocking chairs and the input is the labor of 5 workers working 8 hours.

To calculate productivity, we need to divide the output by the input:

Productivity = Output / Input

In this case:

Productivity = 80 chairs / (5 workers x 8 hours)

Productivity = 80 / 40

Productivity = 2 chairs per hour

Therefore, option A is the correct answer, as it gives the productivity of the workers in terms of chairs produced per hour.
