Solution

To determine who is the most productive, we need to calculate the value produced per hour for each individual.

  1. Photographer: 5,000/50hours=5,000 / 50 hours = 100/hour
  2. Software engineer: 35,000/70hours=35,000 / 70 hours = 500/hour
  3. Mine worker: 1,000/100hours=1,000 / 100 hours = 10/hour
  4. Financial consultant: 24,000/120hours=24,000 / 120 hours = 200/hour

From these calculations, we can see that the software engineer is the most productive, producing $500 of value per hour.
