At Symtecks, the output of a process is valued at $90 per unit. The cost of labor is $55 per hour including benefits. The accounting department provided the following information about the process for the past four weeks: Week 1 Week 2 Week 3 Week 4 Units Produced 1,116 1,306 1,088 977 Labor ($) 12,815 14,892 10,563 9,576 Material ($) 20,834 24,473 20,442 18,314 Overheads ($) 8,917 10,480 8,736 7,898 a. The multifactor productivity ratio for week 1 is. (Enter your response rounded to two decimal places.)

Assume that total output is determined by the formula: Total Output = Number of Workers x Productivity (a) If the workforce is growing by 1 percent a year but productivity doesn't improve, how fast can output increase? (b) If productivity increases by 3 percent and the number of workers increases by 1 percent a year, how fast will output grow?

Compute the multifactor productivity measure for each of the weeks shown for production of chocolate bars. Assume 40-hour weeks and an hourly wage of $12. Overhead is 1.5 times weekly labor cost. Material cost is $8 per pound. (Round your answers to 2 decimal places.) Week Output (units) Workers Material (lbs) 1 29,000 4 410 2 32,000 7 500 3 31,000 8 540 4 35,000 8 550
