Answer:
(a) 2
(b) 2.5
(c) 25%
Explanation:
Productivity = Total output/total input
(a) Total output = 16 ornaments
Total input = 8 hours
Productivity = 16/8 = 2
(b) Total output = 20 ornaments
Total input = 8 hours
Productivity = 20/8 = 2.5
(c) Percentage increase in productivity = (2.5 - 2)/2 × 100 = 0.5/2 × 100 = 25%
Manufacturing or the generation of goods and commodities in an individual place is called a cottage industry. It is a small-scale industry.
a.Efficiency in producing goods and commodities is called productivity.
Productivity can be calculated by the division of total units of output by total units of input for a specified period.
Given,
Total output = 16 ornaments
Total input = 8 hours
[tex]\text{Productivity} = \dfrac{16}{8} = 2[/tex]
b. According to new design and increased production productivity will be:
Total output = 20 ornaments
Total input = 8 hours
[tex]\text{Productivity} = \dfrac{20}{8} = 2.5[/tex]
c.Percentage increase in productivity can be calculated by:
[tex]\text{\%\;of increase in productivity}=\dfrac{\text{Production improvement}}{\text{Old production rate}}\times 100\\=\dfrac{2.5-2}{2}\times100\\\\= \dfrac{0.5}{2}\times100\\\\ = 25\%[/tex]
