Task Four $-15$ marks

Productivity can be measured in variety of ways, such as by labour, capital, energy,

material usage, and so on$.$ President and producer of fruit lovers has been able with

his current equipment to produce $240$ crates per $100$ logs$.$ He currently purchases $100$

logs per day and each log requires $3$ labour$-$ hours to process. He believes that he can

hire a professional buyer who can buy a better$-$quality log at the same cost. If this is

the case, he can increase his production to $260$ crates per $100$ logs$.$ His labour$-$ hours

will increase by $8$ hours per day.

$5\mathrm{.}4\mathrm{.}1$ What will be the impact on productivity $($measured in crates per labour$-$hour$)$ if

the buyer is hired?
