Each month contains 20 working days, each of which allows for 3 separate 8 hour shifts. If material costs $15/part, capital costs are $125,000 and labor costs are $12.50/hr, what is the multifactor productivity of the plant from part A? PLEASE SHOW THE WORK. THANK YOU IN ADVANCE. :)

Explanation / Answer

A) 20 days 3 shift/day= 60 shift/month n workers per shift n*60*10*8=150000 n=31.25== 32 worker/shift B) material cost= 15*150000=$2250000 capital costs are $125,000 labor costs are =$12.50/hr*8*3*20*32=$192000 multifactor productivity = 150000*cost of per part/(2250000+125,000+192000)
