Problem $2-37($Types of Performance Measures$)$

Hint$($s$)$

Check My Work $(2$ remaining$)$

A fast$-$food restaurant has a drive$-$through window and during peak lunch times can handle a maximum of $50$ cars per hour with one person taking orders, assembling them, and acting as cashier. The average sale per order is $$9\mathrm{.}00.$ A proposal has been made to add two workers and divide the tasks among the three. One will take orders, the second will assemble them, and the third will act as cashier. With this system it is estimated that $70$ cars per hour can be serviced. Assume that prevailing minimum wage is $$10\mathrm{.}00$ per hour. Use productivity arguments to recommend whether or not to change the current system. Round your answers to two decimal places.

Productivity for system $1$:

Productivity for system $2$:

With the additional two workers, productivity

decreases $$ Thus, it is to change the current system.
