A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labour content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 100 carts per hour. Workers receive $10 per hour, and machine cost was $40 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $10 per hour while output increased by 20 carts per hour. a.

A Company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 7 workers, who produced an average of 87 carts per hour. Workers receive $15 per hour, and machine coast was $43 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $14 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour. a) Compute the multifactor productivity (MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. The MFP (carts/S) = Blank 1 (round to 4 decimal places). b) Compute the productivity changes between the Prior to and after buying the new equipment. The productivity growth = Blank 2% (round to 2 decimal places) Blank 1 Add your answer Blank 2 Add your answer

A small call center normally has four employees answering calls while open. On average, seven calls arrive every four minutes. Under normal operating conditions, each employee on average handles each call in 3.3 minutes. But today, one employee has the flu, so the center needs to operate with three employees during this time. The manager is nervous that it may be supply-constrained and so she directs her employees to hurry up their processing of calls today. What is the maximum average processing time for each call that they need to achieve today so that they have a stable queue? Note: Round your answer to 2 decimal places. Answer is complete but not entirely correct. Maximum average processing time 4,73 minutes

A Company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs needed to produce the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 6 workers, who produced an average of 78 carts per hour. Workers receive $10 per hour, and machine coast was $36 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by $13 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.a) Compute the multifactor productivity (MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. The MFP (carts/$) =  (round to 4 decimal places).b) Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior to and after buying the new equipment. The growth in productivity =  % (round to 2 decimal places)

An engineering i rm retains a technical specialist to assist four design engineers workingon a project. The help that the specialist gives engineers ranges widely in time consumption.The specialist has some answers available in memory, others require computation,and still others require signii cant search time. On the average, each request for assistancetakes the specialist one hour.The engineers require help from the specialist on the average of once each day. Becauseeach assistance takes about an hour, each engineer can work for seven hours, on the average,without assistance. One further point: Engineers needing help do not interrupt if thespecialist is already involved with another problem.Treat this as a i nite queuing problem and answer the following questions:a. How many engineers, on average, are waiting for the technical specialist for help?b. What is the average time that an engineer has to wait for the specialist?c. What is the probability that an engineer will have to wait…
