Cora Vasquez · Answer 1

Multifactor productivity = 2

Explanation:

Given:

Total output = 400 units

Standard selling price = $100 per unit

Labor costs = $15 per hour

Number of workers = 10 workers

Number of hour = 40 hours per week

Total material costs = $5,000

Overhead = 1.5 times of (Total labor cost)

Calculation:

Total output = 400 x $100 = $40,000

Total labor cost = $15 x 10 x 40 = $6,000

Overhead = Total labor cost x 1.5 = $6,000 x 1.5 = $9,000

Multi factor productivity = Total output / (Total labor cost + Total material cost + Overhead)

= $40,000 / ($6,000 + $5,000 + $9,000)

= $40,000 / $20,000

Multifactor productivity = 2
