The management of Corvid Analytics plans to adopt a four-day workweek. Managers point out that after the firm Bellhaven Systems shortened its own workweek, Bellhaven's output per employee rose by ten percent. They conclude that Corvid's output per employee will likewise rise.
The managers' argument depends on which of the following assumptions?
- Every company that shortens its workweek experiences a rise of at least ten percent in output.
- Corvid's employees currently work more hours each week than Bellhaven's employees once did.
- Bellhaven's employees preferred the shorter workweek to an increase in their annual salaries.
- Bellhaven's rise in output was not caused by changes unrelated to its shortened workweek.
- Corvid's output per employee has been declining steadily over the past several years.
