A commercial project requires the installation of 127 square yards of carpet. Using a productivity rate of 0.108 labor hours per square yard and a productivity factor of 1.05, determine the number of labor hours required to install the carpet.

What will be an ideal response?


Using Formula 7-2 we get:

Labor hours = 127 syd × 0.108 lhr per syd = 13.72 lhr

Using Formula 7-3, we get:

Adjusted labor hours = 13.72 lhr × 1.05 = 14.4 lhr – Use 15 lhr
