Question

As the cost accounting manager at McKinley Industries (MI), you are responsible for compiling and reporting various performance measures to the senior managers. MI instituted many efficiency improvement programs recently and the CFO has asked you to measure and report total factor productivity based on three inputs (material, labor, and overhead). From the accounting records, you also gather the following information for the two years:

  

  

  

Compute the total factor productivity measures for year 1 and year 2 based on the three inputs (material, labor, and overhead). (Round your answers to 3 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Answer

Working

Total factor productivity = Total Output Value / Total Value of Input Cost

Year 1

Total Output Value = Selling price of output (per gallon) * Output (gallons)

Total Output Value = 346*20600

Total Output Value = 7127600

Total Value of Input Cost :

Material Value = Cost of inputs (per gallon) * Gallons input

Material Value = 77*41900

Material Value = 3,226,300

Labor Value = Wage rate (per hour) * Labor hours

Labor Value = 7*38000

Labor Value = 266,000

Overhead Value = 2970000 (Given)

Total Value of Input Cost = Material Value + Labor Value + Overhead Value

Total Value of Input Cost = 3,226,300 + 266,000 + 2970000

Total Value of Input Cost = 6,462,300

Total factor productivity = 7127600/6462300

Total factor productivity = 1.103

Year 2

Total Output Value = Selling price of output (per gallon) * Output (gallons)

Total Output Value = 365*26100

Total Output Value = 9,526,500

Total Value of Input Cost :

Material Value = Cost of inputs (per gallon) * Gallons input

Material Value = 74*45700

Material Value = 3,381,800

Labor Value = Wage rate (per hour) * Labor hours

Labor Value = 23*51000

Labor Value = 1,173,000

Overhead Value = 2760000 (Given)

Total Value of Input Cost = Material Value + Labor Value + Overhead Value

Total Value of Input Cost = 3,381,800 + 1,173,000 + 2760000

Total Value of Input Cost = 7,314,800

Total factor productivity = 9526500/7314800

Total factor productivity = 1.302

Year 2 Year 1 Total Output Value                       9,526,500                  7,127,600 Material Value                       3,381,800                  3,226,300 Labor Value                       1,173,000                      266,000 Overhead Value                       2,760,000                  2,970,000 Total Value of Input Cost                       7,314,800                  6,462,300 Total factor productivity                                1.302                          1.103
