- Susan Williams runs a small Flagstaff job shop where garments are made. The job shop employs eight workers. Each worker is paid $8 per hour. During the first week of March, each worker worked 45 hours. Together, they produced a batch of 156 garments. Of these garments, 54 were 'seconds' (meaning that they were flawed). The seconds were sold for $100 each at a factory outlet store. The remaining 102 garments were sold to retail outlets at a price of $198 per garment. What was the labor productivity, in dollars per labor-hour, at this job shop during the first week of March? Labor productivity =______ dollars/labor hour (round your response to two decimal places). Please don't just send the answer, I need to know how to do this. ThanksMark's Ceramics spent $4000 on a new kiln last year in the belief that it would cut energy usage 25% over the old kiln.

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?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.
