    You need to calculate how many hours the actual production should have taken.

    So….for W, each unit should take 3000/15000 = 0.2 hours. So the actual production should have taken 12,000 x 0.2 = 2,400 hours.

    If you do the same for each product and add them up, then total hours (standard hours for actual production) comes to 27,900 hours.

    The actual took 29,000 hours.

    So the efficiency ratio is 27,900 / 29,000 = 96.2%
