- Problem 9 A company that processes fruits and vegetables is able to produce 500 cases of canned peaches in one-half hour with four workers. Each worker is paid 4 Rials per hour. What is the change in labor hours if output remains the same and the labor productivity in terms of cases/hour increased by 50%?arrow_forwardABC made upgrades to the production process and achieved a 25% increase in production with less raw material. At the same time, however, an additional employee had to be hired. Under the old process, 5 employees could produce 60 pieces per hour at a cost of $16/piece of raw material. With the new process, the cost of the raw material has been reduced to $10 per piece. The direct labor cost is $12/hour per person and overhead is calculated at 1.6 times the direct labor cost. The finished products are sold at a price of $31 each. Calculate the increase in productivity that has occurred by improving the production process.arrow_forwardGeorge Kyparisis makes bowling balls in his Miami plant.
