Labour Productivity per hour of work=

In order to find worth of goods we shall use below Formula:

Worth of Goods= Sale Price per Unit*Number of Units Sold

In given case there are 2 types of goods sold as below

1. Proper Garments

Worth of Goods Sold= $210*78 Garments

Worth of Goods Sold=$16380

2. Seconds

Worth of Goods Sold= $100*54

Worth of Goods Sold= $5400

Total Goods Sold= $5400+$16380

Total Worth of Goods=$21780

Total Hours Worked= No of Workers*Hours Worked each Worker

Total Hours Worked= 8*45

Total Hours Worked=360 Hours

Labour Productivity=

Labour Productivity=$60.5 per Hour
