A company had 80 direct production workers at the beginning of last year and 60 direct production workers at the end of last year. During the year a total of 45 employees had left the company. The labour turnover rate for last year was:
- A.
21.4%
- B.

- C.
64.3%
- D.
75.0%
Correct Answer
B. 35.7%Explanation
During the year the number of employees fell by 80 – 60 = 20.
45 employees had left, and so 45 – 20 = 25 were replaced.
The average number of employees was (80 + 60) / 2 = 70.
The labour turnover rate = 25/70 = 35.7%Rate this question:

A production department consists of 15 direct labour employees who each work 36 hours per week. Output from the department is expected to be 4 units of product per direct labour hour worked. During a particular week, the department recorded 500 hours of time spent working on production and actual output was 2,100 units of the product. What was the production volume ratio for the department for the week?
- A.
92.5%
- B.
97.2%
- C.
102.9%
- D.
105.0%
Correct Answer
B. 97.2%Explanation
Actual output = 2,100 units.
Capacity = 15 employees x 36 hours per week = 540 hours.
These two measurements need to be put on to the same basis, hours or units.
Actual output of 2,100 units is the equivalent of 525 hours of work at the standard rate of efficiency.
Production volume ratio = (525/540) x 100% = 97.2%.
Check: Capacity utilisation ratio = 500/540 = 92.6%.
Productivity or efficiency ratio = 2,100/(500 x 4) = 105%
Production volume ratio = 92.6% x 10597.2%.% = 97.2%.Rate this question:

- A.
10.3%

- C.

Correct Answer
A. 10.3%Explanation
Employees at the beginning of the year = 5,700 – 360 + 600 = 5,940
Average number of employees = (5,700 + 5,940)/2 = 5,820
Labour turnover = (600/5,820) x 100% = 10.3%Rate this question:
