Link's Lumber creates pressure treated wooden poles from logs bought from several surrounding tree plantations. At the Link's Lumber operation, a batch of 100 logs will yield 80 wooden poles with 4 labor hours required to process the entire batch.
Link's Lumber is owned by Artemis Link, whose brother Devious Link is planning to marry Betty Davis, owner of Northlands Pine Plantation. Artemis expects that his future sister-in-law will sell him logs for the same price he is paying to purchase them from other tree growers right now.
The difference in Northlands Pine Plantation logs, however, is that they are considerably higher quality wood then the logs he purchases from his current suppliers.
If Betty agrees to sell him Northlands Pine Plantation pine logs, each batch of 100 logs can be expected to yield 100 wooden poles, although it will take an additional 4 labor hours per batch to process the higher quality wood. Answer the following two questions, based on this information. What is the current labor productivity at Link's Lumber.
