You and your team came up with a plan by using robotic welders. First, compute how this would increase productivity. Year 1 Output (sales in $million) - 120 Labor (payroll, in $million) - 32 Capital (expenses, in $million) - 45 One-time capital investment ($million) - 10 YEAR 2 Output (sales, in $million) - 160 Labor(payroll, in $million) - 26 Capital (expenses, in $million) - 45 One time capital investment ($million) - what is Productivity year 1? What is Productivity Year 2 ? What is Change in Productivity ? What is Change in sales from Year 1 to Year 2? = Change in labor cost from Year 1 to Year 2? = Change in Capital cost from year 1 to year 2 ?= Investment required to create this change ?= ROI ? = Based on these results, is this project a good idea or not?
