    Dear John,

    Please be kind enough to explain the steps on How I can arrive at the “Expected/Standard Hours To Make Output” in order to calculate the Labor Efficiency from the details provided below.

    A company records the following information concerning a product:
    Standard time allowed per unit 6 minutes
    Actual output in period 720 units
    Actual hours worked 180
    Budgeted hours 185

    What is the labour efficiency ratio?

    a. 93.75%
    b. 97.3%
    c. 102.5%
    d. 106.7% ?

    Thank You!

    If the standard time is 6 minutes, then the standard time to make 720 units is 720 x 6/60 = 72 hours.

    (The rest of the question and the choices of answers makes me think that either there is a typing error in the question (or you have mistyped something) or that the question actually asked for the capacity ratio and not the efficiency ratio.)

    Thank You for your response,

    I think the publisher has made an error in the question, I copy pasted (Ctrl c+v) it right from the digital copy.

    It does seem as though there is an error.
