Answer:
0.0075 rugs per dollar
Explanation:
(b) 
Total labor cost:
= 520 hours × $15 per hour
= $7,800
Total solvent cost:
= 100 gallons × $5 per gallon
= $500
Total machine rental cost:
= 22 days × $75 per day
= $1,650
Multi-factor productivity: 
= Number of rugs ÷ (Total labor cost + Total solvent cost + Total machine rental cost)
= 75 ÷ ($7,800 + $500 + $1,650)
= 75 ÷ $9,950
= 0.0075 rugs per dollar
