Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Productivity is calculated as the ratio of output to input.

Output = 160 rocking chairs
Input = 10 workers x 8 hours = 80 worker-hours

Productivity = Output / Input
Productivity = 160 / 80
Productivity = 2 chairs per hour

Therefore, the best choice is B, which is "2 chairs per hour".
