Answer:
Productivity Growth = 6.1%
Explanation:
Productivity Growth = Current Productivity - Previous Productivity/ Previous Productivity
Productivity Growth = 35-33/33=2/33= 0.0606 or 0.061*100= 6.1%
Productivity Ratio = Output/ Input
Labor Productivity= No of Units/ No of Employees
A preferable approach to productivity measurement is to record multiple physical measures that capture the most important determinants of a company's productivity.
Answer:
29,143
Explanation:
Profit target = 25% on sales
Fixed cost = $51,000
Variable cost = $9.50 per unit
Sales price per unit = $15
To achieve profit target, let the number of units sold be y
Total sales = 15y
Total variable cost = 9.5y
Profit = 0.25 × 15y
= 3.75y
Sales - Cost = profit
15y - (51000 + 9.5y) = 3.75y
15y - 9.5y - 3.75y = 51000
1.75y = 51000
y = 51000/1.75
y = 29143
29,143 bears must be sold to meet the profit goal.

Answer: 75,000 units
Explanation:
Come up with an expression to solve this.
Assume the budgeted production needed is P.
P needs 2 pounds of raw materials per unit so raw materials needed are 2P.
Beginning raw materials for February have to be 30% of the needs of February;
= 30% * 2P
= 0.6P
Ending raw materials for February have to be 30% of March needs so;
= 30% * 100,000 * 2 pounds
= 60,000 pounds
So;
Budgeted raw materials purchase for February = Raw materials needed + Ending raw materials - Beginning raw materials
165,000 = 2P + 60,000 - 0.6P
1.4P = 165,000 - 60,000
P = (165,000 - 60,000) / 1.4
= 75,000 units
