Answer: $69.19

Explanation:

Wage = $6 per hour.

Employees = 5

Electricity = $5

Water usage = $50

Charges per car = $10

Customers serviced per hour = $200

Decrease in wages by 1%

=) wage / 100.

= $6 / 100

= 0.06

= 6-0.06 = $ 5.94

Productivity = output / input

= 200 x $10 + $50 + $5 / 5 x $5.94

= $2055 / $29.7

= $69.19
