- The following data was recorded last period for production department that under the management of Mr. Cobblepot. Budgeted labour hours = 2,700 hoursNumber of units of product X manufactured = 350 unitsNumber of units of product Y manufactured = 400 unitsStandard hours to produce one unit of X = 3 hoursStandard hours to produce one unit of Y = 4 hoursActual labour hours worked = 3,110 hours In order to measure the productivity of a labour , calculate the efficiency ratio ? show solutionarrow_forwardThe manager of a crew that installs wood floors has tracked the crew’s output over the past several weeks. Each worker works 40 hours per week, and earns $22 per hour. The wholesale cost of lumber to the company is $9 per square foot, and the company charges its customers $25 per square foot of flooring installed. Overhead rate is 100% a) using the best formula to determine labor productivity, calculate labor productivity for each of the weeks b) calculate multifactor productivity for each week using the dollar revenue of flooring installed in the numerator week crew size lumber used flooring installed week 1 4 480 420 week 2 3 371 325arrow_forwardThe following table shows data on the average number of customers processed by several bank service units each day.
