Explanation
Productivity as Output per Worker
Steps:
- Define productivity: It measures output relative to inputs, like workers or hours.
- Evaluate each option: Check if it shows more output per unit of input.
- Identify increase: Look for explicit rise in output per worker or similar metric.
- Confirm proof: Only clear per-input gains prove true productivity growth.
Why B is correct:
- Productivity is defined as output per worker; B directly shows this rising from 3 to 4 tractors per month.
Why the others are wrong:
- A: Equal percentage increase in workers and output means no change in output per worker.
- C: More workers can boost total output without improving efficiency per worker.
- D: Night shift adds total production but doesn't specify if it's due to more input or better efficiency.
Final answer: B
Topic: Firms and production
