Coach Bjourn Toulouse led the Big Red Herrings to several disappointing football seasons. Only better recruiting will return the Big Red Herrings to winning form. Because of the current state of the program, Boehring University fans are unlikely to support increases in the $192 season ticket price. Improved recruitment will increase overhead costs to

1. JJ Boutique has opened four new stores in college towns across the state. Data on monthly sales volume and labor hours are given below. Which store location has the highest labor productivity?
2. JJ Boutique’s accountant (from problem 1) suggests that monthly rent and hourly wage rate also be factored into the productivity calculations. Store A pays the highest average wage at $5.70 an hour; Store B pays $5.50 an hour; Stare C $5 and Store D $4.50. The cost to rent store space is about $1,600 a month in Store A, $2,100 in Store B, $1,000 a month in Store C and $800 a month in Store D. Which store is most productive?
3. JJ Boutique is not sure it can keep all stores open. Based on multifactor productivity, which store would you close?
Pak Andi is a director of a cake factory in the Bekasi area. To produce 900 cakes per day it takes the following things:

Energy
$ 10,000 per day
Capital cost
$ 5,000 per day
a. What is the labor productivity per labor-hour for the production of cakes at the factory?b. What is the multifactor productivity for cake production at the factory?c. If Mr. Andi wants to increase his production to 1,500 cakes per day without changingother variables, what is the productivity now?
