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 in productivity. He has the following data representing a month from last year and an equivalent month this year. | Last Year New 1000 1000 Units produced Labor (hours) Resin (pounds) Capital invested (S) Energy (BTU) 300 275 45 10,000 11,000 3,000 50 2,850 a. Show the productivity percentage change for each category and then determine the improvement for labor-hours, the typical standard for comparison. b. Eric Johnson determines his costs to be as follows: Labor @ $10 per hour, Resin $5 per pound, Capital expense 1% per month of investment and Energy S0.50 per BTU. With this information, Show the percent change in productivity for one month last year versus one month this year, on a multifactor basis with dollars as the common denominator.

Cellulon, a manufacturer of home insulation, wants to develop guidelines for builders and consumers on how the thickness of the insulation in the attic of a home and the outdoor temperature affect natural gas consumption. In the laboratory, it varied the insulation thickness and temperature. A few of the findings are:   Monthly Natural Gas Consumption (cubic feet), Thickness of Insulation (inches), Outdoor Temperature (ºF), y x1 x2 30.3   6.0   40.0   24.2   12   40   27.9   8   49       On the basis of the sample results, the regression equation is:     yˆy⁢^⁢  = 56.26 − 0.66x1 − 0.59x2     How much natural gas can homeowners expect to use per month if they install 6 inches of insulation and the outdoor temperature is 40 degrees F? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places.)         What effect would installing 7 inches of insulation instead of 6 have on the monthly natural gas consumption (assuming the outdoor temperature remains at 40 degrees F)? (Round your answers…
