Chapter 1, Problem 14P
a)
Summary Introduction
To determine: Labor productivity for current process.
Introduction
Productivity can be explained as the measure of level of competitiveness of an organization. It is measured by calculating the ratio of number of outputs produced to the number of inputs used. An increase in the productivity increases the level of wages of the individuals.
b)
Summary Introduction
To calculate: Multifactor productivity.

A company produces 1,222 units of output per hour using 28 workers and
528 pounds of raw materials. Each worker is paid $15 per hour. Materials
cost $4 per pound. Overhead is charged at 1.8 times the labor expense.
Finished units sell for $112 each.
What is the productivity of materials? ($/$)
In a manufacture company, a group of workers produces 20,000 units of a product and
sold them in the market for $15 each. The accounting department reports that, In
order to produce all of these products. it costs. S 200 for labor. S600 for materials.
$150 for overhead, $1000 for administrative manager salary. Now what is the
multifactor productivity for this process?
