A Jacksonville drywall crew installs 420 board units using 70 labor-hours. What production rate should the foreman report?
Correct Answer
D) 6.0 units/LH
Production rate equals installed quantity divided by labor-hours used.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Production rate equals installed quantity divided by labor-hours used.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: 29,400.0 total units
29,400.0 total units is above the supported result for labor production rate; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
Option B: 0.167 labor-hours per unit
0.167 labor-hours per unit is below the supported result for labor production rate; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.
Option C: 7.5 units per crew-hour
7.5 units per crew-hour is above the supported result for labor production rate; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
