This year, Clearwater Inc., will produce 55,600 hot water heaters at its plants in Harrisburg, PA in order to meet its expected demand. To accomplish this, each laborer at the Clearwater Plant will work 150 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.20 water heaters per labor-hour, How many heaters can one labor produce every month?

Working 150 hours and producing 0.2 water heater per hour, each worker produce 30 heater per month.

Explanation:

the productivity is 0.20 water heater per labor-hour

during the month an employee works 150 hours

to know the amount of water heater per laborer, we will multiply the productivity rate by the amount of hours per month

150 hours x 0.2 = 30 water heater

Each employee produces 30 water heater.
