Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used 4 workers, who produced an average of 87 carts per hour. Workers receive 13ドル per hour, and machine coast was 32ドル per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and equipment cost increased by 18ドル per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.a) Compute the multifactor productivity (MFP) (labor plus equipment) under the Prior to buying the new equipment. The MFP (carts/$) = ( ) (round to 4 decimal places).b) Compute the % growth in productivity between the Prior to and after buying the new equipment. The growth in productivity = ( ) % (round to 2 decimal places)arrow_forwardProcess time is part of cycle time.
