Current period productivity ----------------- Units / hr
Previous period productivity ----------------- Units / hr
B. Did the worker's productivity increase, decrease, or remain the same? (Round your intermediate calculations and final answer to 2 decimal places. Omit the "%" sign in your response.)

Answer:

A. 4; 3.83 units per hour

B. Increases by 4.44%.

Explanation:

Given that,

Current period:

Output = 160 units

Input = 40 hours

Previous period:

Output = 138 units

Input = 36 hours

A. Current period productivity:

= Current period output ÷ Current period input

= 160 units ÷ 40 hours

= 4 units per hour

Previous period productivity:

= Previous period output ÷ Previous period input

= 138 units ÷ 36 hours

= 3.83 units per hour

B. Percentage change in worker's productivity:

= [(change in productivity) ÷ Previous period productivity] × 100

= [(4 - 3.83) ÷ 3.83] × 100

= (0.17 ÷ 3.83) × 100

= 0.0444 × 100

= 4.44%

Therefore, the worker's productivity increases by 4.44%.
