Question:

Computer, thereby shortening the time it takes to determine what is wrong with a car. Consider the figures below:
Sales (S000s) Labor costs ($000s) S987 Machine costs (S000s) Year $2,468 $O 2010, S2,838 $3,085, S3,702 $4,072, $1,192,

a. Calculate the labor productivity for each of the six years. How much has labor productivity improved since the diagnostic machine was brought in?
b. Calculate the multi-factor productivity score for each year, where the "input" is the total amount spent on labor and the diagnostic machine.
Next, calculate the average multi-factor productivity score for years 2010 - 2012, and years 2013 - 2015. According to the results, was it worthwhile for Gibson to invest in the diagnostic machine? Why or why not?
