If a company invests in production improvement option D that will boost labor productivity by 50%, while its annual depreciation costs will rise by an amount equal to 10% of the investment costs associated with installing option D, it is accurate to say that its labor costs per pair produced will decline

Respuesta :

Answer: from $8.00 per pair to $5.33 for a production facility in North America that currently has labor productivity of 5000 pairs per worker and total regular compensation (which does not include overtime pay) of $40,000 annually.

Explanation:

Since we have been informed that the labor productivity be boosted by 50%, since the production facility in North America currently has labor productivity of 5000, then the new labor productivity will be:

= 5000 (1 + 50%)

= 5000 (1 + 0.5)

= 5000 (1.5)

= 7500

Also, since total regular compensation was given s $40,000 annually, the labor cost will then be:

= 40,000 / 7500

= $5.33
