The state supplements school revenue by $$80$ per semester credit hour. Average class size for a typical $3-$credit course is $60$

students. Labor costs are $$4,700$ per class, materials costs are $$21$ per student per class, and overhead costs are $$24,000$ per class. The multifactor productivity ratio currently is $1\mathrm{.}38$ and the labor

productivity ratio is $$184\mathrm{.}82$ per hour if the instructors work on an average of $14$ hours per week for $16$ weeks for each $3-$credit class of $60$ students.

Coach Bjourn Toulouse led the Big Red Herrings to several disappointing football seasons. Only better recruiting will return the Big Red Herrings to winning form. Because of the current state of

the program, Boehring University fans are unlikely to support increases in the $$192$ season ticket price. Improved recruitment will increase overhead costs to $$32,000$ per class section from the current

$$24,000$ per class section. The university's budget plan is to cover recruitment costs by increasing the average class size to $75$ students. Labor costs will increase to $$7,000$ per $3-$ credit course. Material

costs will be about $$25$ per student for each $3-$credit course. Tuition will be $$200$ per semester credit, which is supplemented by state support of $$80$ per semester credit.
