Answer:

Explanation:

Given: In economics, unit labor cost, U, is calculated using the formula

U=(O)/(W) , where O is the hourly output per worker and WW is the hourly compensation per worker.

Now, to rearrange the formula to solve for hourly compensation per worker (W), We multiply both sides by W and divide both sides by U we get,

$U*(1)/(U)* W=(O)/(W)* W*(1)/(U)\\\Rightarrow\ W=(O)/(U)$

Answer:
W = (O)/(U)

Explanation:

Since, the given formula pf finding unit labor cost is,

U = (O)/(W)

Where O is the hourly output per worker

And, W is the hourly compensation per worker.

$U = (O)/(W)\implies W =(O)/(U)$

Thus, the formula for solving hourly compensation per worker (W) is,

W = (O)/(U)
