Productivity would stay the same |
Answer 2: 100%
Explanation: in this 4 worker assembly line, the bottleneck worker is at Task B (because Task B takes the most time)
Hence, the cycle time of the assembly line is 7 mins, and
Efficiency= task time/cycle time= 7 mins/7 mins= 1 that is 100%

Consider the following tasks that must be assigned to four workers on a conveyor--paced assembly line (i.e., a machine--‐paced line flow). Each worker must perform at least one task. Time to Complete Task (seconds): Task 1: 26 Task 2: 25 Task 3: 15 Task 4: 24 Task 5: 15 Task 6: 20 Task 7: 47 Task 8: 15 Task 9: 20 Task 10:25 Task 11: 15 Task 12: 20 The current conveyor--paced assembly-‐line configuration assigns the workers in the following...
2, (3 points) 10% of the population are low-productivity workers and 90% of the popula- tion are high-productivity workers. The present value of lifetime productivity for low- productivity workers is $150,000 and the present value of lifetime productivity for high- productivity workers is $200,000. It costs $30,000 for a low-productivity worker to go to school. (a) (1 point) Calculate how much the employer would pay in a pooling equilibrium? (b) (1 point) In a separating equilibrium, the firm is requiring...

answer asap plz will thumb up Question 9 (10 points) There are basically 4 layout types used in organizing the work flow for manufacturing processes. They are: Fixed-Product Layout, Flowline/Product Layout, Cellular/Group Technology Layout, and Process/Functional/Job Shop Layout. A flowline/product layout has which of the following characteristics? a) Sometimes can be the preferred layout when high levels of precision are in order O b) The line for each part is organized in a way that facilitates the corresponding production flow....
Exhibit 6-1 Production of pizza data Workers Pizzas 0 0 1 4 2 10 3 15 4 18 5 19 Exhibit 6-1 shows the change in the short-run production of pizzas as more workers are hired. The table shows the marginal product of the labor input is decreasing with the hiring of the third worker. A possible reason for this diminishing marginal product is: a. increased division of labor as additional workers are hired. b. increases in plant size. c....
Question 5 1 pts One would expect to observe diminishing marginal product of labor when O union workers are told to reduce their work effort in preparation for a new round of collective bargaining talks. O workers are discouraged about the lack of help from other workers. O crowded office space reduces the productivity of new workers. O only new workers are trained in using the most productive capital. Question 6 1 pts Diminishing marginal product suggests that the marginal...
