Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The productivity ratio, meals per labor hour, is calculated by dividing the meals served per day by the labor hours for that day. Therefore, the correct choice is D. The other choices are not relevant to calculating the productivity ratio. Choice A divides total labor hours by meals served, which does not give an accurate representation of productivity. Choice B divides payroll cost by meals served, which does not take into account the labor hours worked. Choice C divides total meals served by payroll cost, which does not account for the labor hours worked either.
