An operation in a company has 25% scrap rate. It produces 2000 units in a ten-hour day. The units are produced by 4 workers who use 400 kilos of raw materials. Workers are paid 5 Omani Rials per hour; raw material cost is 0.5 Rial per kilo. The overhead cost is 50 Omani Rials. Calculate the Multifactor productivity (labor +raw material + overhead). Round to the nearest two decimal places. O a. None is correct O b. 2.67 O c. 3.33 O d. 4.44

Consider a small island country whose only industry is fishing. The following table shows information about the small economy in two different years. Complete the table by calculating physical capital per worker as well as labor productivity. Year Physical Capital (Fishing poles) Labor Force (Workers) Physical Capital per Worker (Fishing poles) Labor Hours (Hours) Output (Fish) Labor Productivity (Fish per hour of labor) 2016 160 40 2,000 20,000 2017 180 60 3,900 29,250 Based on your calculations, (a. an increase, b. a decrease) in physical capital per worker from 2016 to 2017 is associated with (a. an increase, b. a decrease) in labor productivity from 2016 to 2017.

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 shoe factory produces 95,000 shoes each week. The equipment used costs $15,000 and will remain productive for three years. The labor cost per year is $16,000. What is the productivity measure of “units of output per dollar of input” averaged over the three-year period? Hint: Productivity = total units produced divided by the total labor cost plus total equipment cost
The U.S. economy is becoming more and more service-based. The percentage of employment in manufacturing continues to decrease while the percentage employed in services continues to increase. However, it would be unwise to assume that manufacturing isn't important to the economy, or that service is more important. Let's see why. Not only is the percentage of manufacturing jobs decreasing, but the actual number of manufacturing jobs is also decreasing. There are two main reasons for the decline: increases in productivity, which means ewer workers are needed to maintain manufacturing output; and outsourcing, especially to countries that have much lower wages, an attractive option for companies seeking to maintain their competitiveness and boost their bottom lines. However, when companies outsource part (or in some cases, all) of their manufacturing to lower cost countries, the loss of jobs results in the loss of service jobs as well. Some are lost in the community in retail…
This year, Druehl, Inc., will produce 57,600 hot water heaters at its plant in Delaware in order to meet expected global demand.
