A fast-food restaurant serves hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chicken sandwiches.

Question

A fast-food restaurant serves hamburgers, cheeseburgers, and chicken sandwiches. The restaurant counts a cheeseburger as equivalent to 1.70 hamburgers and chicken sandwiches as 0.70 hamburger. Current employment is five full-time employees who work a 40-hour week. Requirement 1: If the restaurant sold 720 hamburgers, 860 cheeseburgers, and 760 chicken sandwiches in one week, what is its productivity? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.) Requirement 2: What would its productivity have been if it had sold the same number of sandwiches (2,340) but the mix was 780 of each type? (Round your answer to 3 decimal places.)

Explanation / Answer

Requirement 1-

Hamburgers(HB) = 720

Cheese burgers(CB) = 860 = 1.7x860 = 1462 HB

Chichen Sandwiches(CS) = 760 = 0.7x760 = 532

Total Output = 2714 HB

Input = 5 Full time employee x 40 hour per week = 200

Productivity = Output/Input = 2714/ 200 = 13.57

Requirement 2-

780 of each type

Hamburger = 780

cheeseburger = 780x 1.7= 1326

chichen sandwiches = 780 x0.7 = 546

Total Output = 2652

Inout = 5x40 = 200

Productivity = output/input = 2652/200 = 13.26
