A fast-food restaurant serves hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chicken sandwiches. The restaurant counts a cheeseburger as equivalent to 1.25 hamburgers and chicken sandwiches as 0.8 hamburger. Current employment is i ve full-time employees who each work a 40-hour week. If the restaurant sold 700 hamburgers, 900 cheeseburgers, and 500 chicken sandwiches in one week, what is its productivity? What would its productivity have been if it had sold the same number of sandwiches (2,100), but the mix was 700 of each type?

This year, Druehl, Inc., will produce 57,600 hot water heaters at its plant in Delaware, in order to meet expected global demand. To accomplish this, each laborer at the plant will work 200 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.25 hot water heaters per labor hour, how many laborers are employed at the plant? ttempt Number of laborers employed by the plant = laborers (round your answer to the nearest whole number).
Mark's Ceramics spent $4000 on a new kiln last year in the belief that it would cut energy usage 25% over the old kiln. This kiln is an oven that turns "greenware" into finished pottery. Mark is concerned that the new kiln requires extra labor hours for its operation. Mark wants to check the energy savings of the new oven, and also to look over other measures of their productivity to see if the change really was beneficial. Mark has the following data to work with: Last Year This Year Production (finished units) 4000 4000 Greenware (pounds) 5000 5000 Labor (hrs) 350 375 Capital ($) 15000 19000 Energy (kWh) 3000 2600 Were the modifications beneficial?
A retail store had sales of $45,000 in April and $56,000 in May. The store employs eight full-time workers who work a 40-hour week. In April, the store also had seven part-time workers at 10 hours per week, and in May the store had nine part-timers at 15 hours per week (assume four weeks in each month). Using sales dollars as the measure of output, what is the percentage change in productivity from April to May?
Mance Fraily, the Production Manager at Ralts Mills, can currently expect his operation to produce 1000 square yards of fabric for each ton of raw cotton. Each ton of raw cotton requires 5 labor hours to process. He believes that he can buy a better-quality raw cotton, which will enable him to produce 1200 square yards per ton of raw cotton with the same labor hours. What will be the impact on productivity (measured in square yards per labor-hour) if he purchases the higher quality raw cotton?
This year, Druehl, Inc., will produce 57,600 hot water heaters at its plant in Delaware in order to meet expected global demand. To accomplish this, each laborer at the plant will work 160 hours per month. If the labor productivity at the plant is 0.I5 hot water heaters per labor-hour, how many laborers are employed at the plant?
A dressmaker manufactures fashionable clothing. In a specific week, employees worked 360 hours to produce a batch of 132 garments, 52 of which were “second” (defective), which will be sold for $ 90 each in the store for factory sales. The remaining 80 garments will be sold to retail distributors at a price of $ 200 each. What is the labor productivity ratio?

A factory produces 14,000 desk staplers each week. The equipment used costs $50,000 and will remain productive for four years. The labor cost per year is $190,000. a. What is the productivity measure of "units of output per dollar of input" averaged over the four-year period? Assume that there are 52 weeks per year. Round your answer to two decimal places. units of output per dollar input b. We have the option of buying $55,000 of new equipment, with an operating life of seven years. It would reduce labor costs to $124,000 per year. Should we consider purchasing this equipment (using productivity arguments alone)? Assume that there are 52 weeks per year. Round your answer for productivity to two decimal places. For the newer machine, the productivity is -Select-, it would be a-Select- investment. -Select- higher lower units of output per dollar input. Because the productivity of the new machine is
