    Case 2 has higher labor productivity

    Explanation:

    A. Labor Productivity = Total output / Total Input of labor

    Case 1.

    Given:

    Total output of meals = 300 meals

    Total Input of labor = 8 worker

    Labor Productivity for case 1. = 300 meals / 8 worker

    = 37.5 meals/worker

    Case 2.

    Given:

    Total output of meals = 240 meals

    Total Input of labor = 6 worker

    Labor Productivity for case 1. = 240 meals / 6 worker

    = 40 meals/worker

    So, we say that In case 2. labor productivity is higher.

    B. The major difference is as follows:

    The efficiency level of the worker in case 2 is better than case 1
