The Dulac Box plant produces 500 cypress packing boxes in two 10-hour shifts. Due to higher demand, they have decided to operate three 8-hour shifts instead with one employee. They are now able to produce 600 boxes per day. What has happened to productivity?A. Productivity has not changed.B. It has increased by 4.17 boxes/hr.C. It has increased by 25%.D. It has decreased by 8.3%.

Respuesta :

Answer:

A

Explanation:

Productivity = total boxes produced / total hours

Before increased demanded = 500 / (10 x 2) = 25 boxes / hour was produced

after increased demanded = 600 / (8 x 3) = 25 boxes / hour

the number of boxes produced before and after the increase in the number of shifts remains the same. Thus, there is no change in productivity
