You have two workers at a distribution center. A senior picker and a first-year picker. The senior-level picker works 8-hour shifts 5 days a week with one 30-minute lunch break and a mid-afternoon break for 15 minutes (paid). The senior picker gets all weekends off and 8 paid holidays a year. Additionally, he/she gets three full weeks of vacation a year. He/she gets paid $19.50/hr. and his/her benefits are 38% of her hourly wage. The entry-level (I* year) picker works 10-hour shifts, 4 days a week with one 30-minute lunch break (paid). The entry picker gets weekends off and 8 paid holidays a year. Additionally, he/she gets one week of vacation a year. Their hourly wage is 15.20/hr. with fringe benefits at 25.6% of the hourly wage. Note: assume there are 365 days in the year and 104 weekend days A. What is the effective cost per work hour for both workers assuming 100% productivity. B. The entry-level worker is suffering from a learning curve, dropping his/her productivity to only 80%. What is his/her new effective cost per work hour for the 1* year person? C. Does a change in the hourly rate, or a change in worker productivity have a larger effect on the effective cost per work hour? Why? D. Management is happy with the performance of the entry-level worker after some time (assuming the only thing that has changed is his/her productivity which improved to 85%) and he/she is to be promoted. What is the most he/she can get paid per hour and have an effective cost per work hour at $26
