1. For each cashier, compute his or her overall productivity (in Donuts sold per day) for Summer and Autumn. You should have one number per cashier. (3pts)
2. For each cashier, compute his or her productivity (in Donuts sold per day) for Spring. Using the MAX function, find the highest productive cashier for the Spring among the cashiers. (3pts)
3. Compute the overall productivity for each cashier (in Donuts sold per day) for the entire year. Use the MIN function to find the lowest productive cashier for the year among the cashiers. (3 pts)
4. Which month has the lowest overall productivity? (2 pts)
Question Set 2. For this question set, you will calculate labor productivity and multifactor productivity, both in tons of wheat produced per dollar value of inputs.
A Wheat Manufacturer employs 60 field workers (each working 50 hours per week at a wage of $15/hr) and 30 line workers (each working 25 hours per week at a wage of $12/hr).
The business has capital expenses of $20,000 per week and produces 450,000 tons of rice per week.
Recently, the company decided to invest on additional equipment which increased the capital expenses by 12%. Also, the number of field workers was cut short by 8% whereas line workers were 15% more recruited. Both field and line workers were given a raise of 8% and 10%, respectively. Due to the above-mentioned changes, the new system reported to have an 9% more output than the old system.
You will need the following formulas:
Labor productivity =([Weekly output])/([Weekly total labor cost])
Multifactor productivity =([Weekly output])/([Weekly total labor cost+Weekly capital expenses])
After copying the table below into Excel, solve the following questions and fill the table
OLD SYSTEM % CHANGE NEW SYSTEM
Number of Field workers 60-0.08?
Hours 50
Wages 150.08?
Total cost for field workers ?
Number of Line workers 300.15?
Hours 25
Wages 120.10?
Total cost for line workers ??
TOTAL LABOR COST ??
Capital expenditure 250000.12?
Output 4500000.09?
LABOR PRODUCTIVITY ??
MULTIFACTOR PRODUCTIVITY ??
% CHANGE FOR LABOR PRODUCTIVITY ?
% CHANGE FOR MULTIFACTOR PRODUCTIVITY ?
Calculate the Total Input Cost for Old and New systems (Labor cost + capital expense)(2 pts)
Calculate the Capital Expenditure and Output of the new system (2 pts)
Calculate labor productivity including all employees (line workers & field workers) for the old and new systems, in tons of output per dollar of input. (4pts)
Calculate the multifactor productivity (including line workers, field workers, and capital expenses) for the old and new systems, in tons of output per dollar of input. (4pts)
Calculate the percentage changes in labor and multifactor productivity. (3pts)
Question Set 3. A bakery has a production target of 1000 units of pancakes, waffles and cakes each in a month. The owners spent $10,200 on setting up the bakery, which could be accounted as the fixed cost. The production cost and selling price for the items is listed in the table below. For this question set, use the following formulas and information:
[Total Cost]=[Production] x [Variable Unit Cost]+[Fixed Costs]
[Total Revenue]=[Production] x [Unit Revenue]
[Total Profit]=[Total Revenue][Total Cost]
[Break Even Point]=[Fixed Cost]/([Unit Revenue]-[Unit Variable Cost])
Item Unit Cost Unit Revenue
pancakes 2.53.4
waffles 3.24.5
cakes 4.86.0
Calculate Total profit for the bakery in a month, given they bake 1000 units each of all 3 products (3pts)
Create a data table (as demonstrated during lab exercise 2), to show the change in Total profit corresponding to change in Production from 2000 to 3700 units with increments of 100. You must use a data table structure to receive credit for this problem. (6pts)
