Question 3: The city manager in a New England town that has 2700 miles of streets is examining the productivity of the snow removal operations during the winter months. The town keeps track of the number of days of snow clearing, number of trucks, the total number of gallons and the total number of miles traveled for snow removal. The costs of the operation are determined by the price/gallon of gasoline and the daily driver and insurance costs. The data for the previous year and this year are provided in the following table: Measure of Performance City Miles Number of days of snow clearing Number of Trucks per day of use Driver and insurance cost/truck/day Previous Year This Year 2700 2700 13 16 6 5 $42 $47 Gallons of Gasoline Used 4400 4900 Price of Gasoline per gallon $2.65 $2.73 Number of Miles Travelled 22000 18000 Calculate the percent change in the multifactor productivity measure city miles per expense dollar. Specify the percentage as whole number by rounding.
