Clarification:

Last year's customer orders totaled 15000

Predicted orders for next year with a 15% rise = 15000 x 1.15 = 17250

Each customer order takes 1.5 hours to fulfill

Total time needed to satisfy customer orders = 17250 x 1.5 = 25875

Knowing that the standard work year comprises 2000 hours

Hence, the effective work year with a 2% capacity cushion

= Standard work year x ( 1 – Capacity cushion %/100)

= 2000 x 0.98  = 1960 hours

Workers required by manager

= Total time needed for orders / effective work year

= 25875 / 1960  = 13.20, rounded to 13

Thus, the manager will require 13 workers next year
