Answer 1

Answer and Explanation:

The computation of the labor productivity per hour for each week is shown below:

As we know that

Labor productivity = Total shirts ÷ Total hours

For week 1

= 168  ÷  24

= 7 shirts per hour

For Week 2

= 130  ÷  46

= 2.83 shirts per hour

For Week 3

= 162  ÷  62

= 2.61 shirts per hour

For Week 4

= 125  ÷  51

= 2.45 shirts per hour

For Week 5

= 131  ÷  45

= 2.91 shirts per hour
