Labor Productivity = total output/total workers

Labor Productivity = 2,500
Capital Productivity = output/capital employed
Capital Productivity = 50,000/10
Capital Productivity = 5,000
2013
Labor Productivity = total output/total workers
Labor Productivity = 55,000/24
Labor Productivity = 2,292
Capital Productivity = output/capital employed
Capital Productivity = 55,000/12
Capital Productivity = 4,583
2014
Labor Productivity = total output/total workers
Labor Productivity = 60,000/30
Labor Productivity = 2,000
Capital Productivity = output/capital employed
Capital Productivity = 60,000/150
Capital Productivity = 4,000
2. Describe the trends in labor productivity and capital productivity over the three
years.
Both the labor productivity and capital productivity is continuously decreasing in a
linear manner over the three years. This means that Westlife Jeans’ productivity in
terms of its capital and labor are becoming less effective.
3. Explain two possible reasons for the change in labor productivity over the three
years.
- Employees are less motivated to the extent where they do not perform their
best, resulting in a decrease in labor productivity.
- The equipment or machineries needed during the manufacturing process may
not be as effective or efficient, resulting in a decrease in labor productivity.
4. Explain two consequences for the change in capital productivity over the three
years.
