    The document summarizes productivity calculations for a company that manufactures shopping carts before and after purchasing new equipment. Under the old system, 5 workers produced 60 carts per hour at a labor cost of P45 per worker and machine cost of P180 per hour, resulting in a labor productivity of 12 carts per worker per hour and multifactor productivity of 0.148 carts per peso. With the new equipment, output increased to 64 carts per hour, 1 worker was transferred, machine cost increased to P225 per hour, resulting in a labor productivity of 16 carts per worker per hour and multifactor productivity of 0.158 carts per peso. Labor productivity is a more pertinent measure for this

    -handwritten -up to three decimal places -box the final answer

    Exercise 4 A company that makes shopping carts for supermarkets and other stores recently purchased some new equipment that reduces the labor content of the jobs involved in producing the shopping carts. Prior to buying the new equipment, the company used five workers, who produced an average of 60 carts per hour. Hourly wage per worker was P45 and machine cost was P180 per hour. With the new equipment, it was possible to transfer one of the workers to another department, and machine cost increased by P45 per hour while output increased by four carts per hour.

    -Compute the labor productivity under each system. Use carts per worker per hour as the measure of labor productivity. -Compute the multifactor productivity under each system. Use carts per peso cost (labor + machine) as the measure. -Comment on the changes in productivity according to the two measures. -Which of the two measures (a) labor productivity or (b) multifactor productivity is the more pertinent for this situation?

    labor productivity: output input

    Old system 60 carts/hr 5 workers = 12 carts/worker/hr

    New system 64 carts/hr 4 workers = 16 carts/worker/hr 64 carts (4 x 45 +225) 0.158 carts/P

    multifactor Productivity

    60 carts (5 x 45 +180) 0.148 carts/P (peso)

    labor productivity - more pertinent measure

    Exercise 5 A house with surface area of 1000 square meters will be painted in 3 workdays. One work day is 8 hrs., but the workers are allowed two fifteen-minute breaks per day. If their productivity is 11.11 sq. m. / hr., how many painters should be working? Let x = no. of painters 2/ rate of work of 1 painter = 11.11 m hr

    rate of work of x painters = =

    1000m 22.5
