PROBLEMS 1. Four workers installed 750 square yards of carpeting in eight hours. Determine the productivity. (Round off two decimal places and include unit). 2. A machine produced 80 pieces in three hours. However, four pieces were unusable. Determine the productivity. (Round off two decimal places and include unit). 3. A wrapping-paper company produced 2,000 rolls of paper one day. Labor cost was $180, material cost $60 and overhead was twice as labor cost. Determine the multifactor productivity. (Round off two decimal places and include unit). 4. A company that processes fruits and vegetables is able to produce 400 cases of canned peaches in one-half hour with four workers.

Labor productivity of the new title-search system (Round off four decimal places and include unit) c. Multi-factor productivity of the current/old title-search system? (Round off four decimal places and include unit) d. Multi-factor productivity of the new title-search system? (Round off four decimal places and include unit) e. Percentage increase/decrease on labor productivity. (Answer should be in this format: ##.##%) f. Percentage increase/decrease on multi-factor productivity. (Answer should be in this format: ##.##%)
