a)
Process Alpha,
Value of output for A and B = 200*60 + 160*40 = 18400
Multifactor productivity calculation,
value of input = Labour cost + materials cost + overhead cost
overhead cost = 5000
Labour cost = 1200+1400 = 2600
materials cost = 3500+3000 = 6500
value of input = 5000+2600+6500 = 14100
Multifactor productivity = Value of output/value of input = 18400/14100 = 1.304964539
Labour productivity calculation,
value of input = Labour cost = 2600
Labour productivity calculation = Value of output/value of input =
18400/2600 = 7.076923077
Process Beta,
Value of output for A and B = 200*50 + 160*70 = 21200
Multifactor productivity calculation,
value of input = Labour cost + materials cost + overhead cost
overhead cost = 7000
Labour cost = 1000+2000 = 3000
materials cost = 2500+1400 = 3900
value of input = 7000+3000+3900 = 13900
Multifactor productivity = Value of output/value of input = 21200/13900 = 1.525179856
Labour productivity calculation,
value of input = Labour cost = 3000
Labour productivity calculation = Value of output/value of input =
21200/3000 = 7.066666667
Process Alpha has ((7.076923077 - 7.066666667)/7.066666667)*100 = 0.145137877% = 0% (Rounded to nearest whole number) higher labour productivity
Process Beta has Beta has ((1.525179856 - 1.304964539)/1.304964539)*100 = 16.87519549% = 17% (Rounded to nearest whole number) higher multifactor productivity
