A foundry produces circular utility access hatches $($manhole covers$).$ Currently, $120$ covers are produced in a $10-$hour shift. If labor productivity can be increased by $20\%,$ it would then be:

$24$ covers$/$hr$.$

$240$ covers$/$hr$.$

$14\mathrm{.}4$ covers $\frac{?}{hr}.$

$1200$ covers$/$hr$.$

$10$ covers$/$hr$.$
