On which contract were the workers more productive Navy contract Army conrect

Answer 1

a) Calculation of productivity for navy & army contracts

Navy contract

Devices to be produced = 2378

Worker = 26

time taken = 3weeks

Army Contract

Devices to be produce = 5100

Worker = 29

time taken = 6 weeks

40 hours per week is the working hour

Productivity = output/input

Navy Contract

= 2378/26*3*40

2378/3120

0.762

Army contract productivity

5100/29*6*40

5100/6960

0.732

b) navy contract productivity = 0.762, army contract productivity = 0.732

therefore navy contract productivity is More
