Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To find the full-time equivalent employees, we need to calculate the total number of hours worked by all employees and divide by the standard 8-hour workday.

For full-time employees: 
Total hours worked = 2,000 employees x 8 hours/day = 16,000 hours/day

For part-time employees:
Total hours worked = 800 employees x 4 hours/day = 3,200 hours/day

Total hours worked by all employees = 16,000 + 3,200 = 19,200 hours/day

Full-time equivalent employees = 19,200 hours/day ÷ 8 hours/day = 2,400 
Thus, the answer is (C) 2,400.
