Problem 5: Eric Johnson makes billiard balls in his New England plant. With recent increases in his costs,he has newfound interest in efficiency. Eric is interested in determining the productivity of his organisation.He would like to know if his organisation is maintaining the manufacturing average of 3% increase inproductivity. He has the following data representing a month from last year and an equivalent month thisyear.Last Year New1000Units producedLabor (hours)Resin (pounds)Capital invested (S)Energy (BTU)10003005010,000 11,0003,000275452,850a. Show the productivity percentage change for each category and then determine the improvement forlabor-hours, the typical standard for comparison.b. Eric Johnson determines his costs to be as follows: Labor @ S10 per hour, Resin S5 per pound,Capital expense 1% per month of investment and Energy $0.50 per BTU. With this information,Show the percent change in productivity for one month last year versus one month this year, on amultifactor basis with dollars as the common denominator.

Productivity = units produced / input
