Answer from: TheRunningPotatoe245

(a) Total time invested = 40 hours per day

No. of boxes produced in a day = 120 boxes

$Productivity\ per\ day=\frac{Number\ of\ boxes\ produced}{Total\ time\ invested}$

$Productivity\ per\ day=\frac{120}{40}$

= 3 boxes per labor hour

(b) Expected increase in productivity = 125 boxes

Total time invested = 40 hours per day

$New\ Productivity\ per\ day=\frac{Expected\ increase\ in\ productivity}{Total\ time\ invested}$

$Productivity\ per\ day=\frac{125}{40}$

= 3.125 boxes per labor hour

(c)Original productivity of 120 boxes = 3 boxes per labor hour

New productivity of 125 boxes = 3.125 boxes per labor hour

Increase in Productivity = New productivity of 125 boxes - Original productivity of 120 boxes

= 3.125 - 3

= 0.125 boxes per labor hour

Therefore, unit increase in productivity per hour is 0.125 boxes per labor hour.

(d) $Percentage\ change\ in\ productivity=\frac{New\ productivity\ of\ 125\ boxes-Original\ productivity\ of 120 boxes}{Original\ productivity\ of\ 120\ boxes}\times100$

$Percentage\ change\ in\ productivity=\frac{3.125-3}{3}\times100$

= 0.041667 × 100

= 4.2%
