Answer:

A. Labor productivity before=16 cart per workers-hour

Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour

B. Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour

Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Explanation:

A. Computation of labor productivity under each system

Labor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/6 workers

Labor productivity Before=16 cart per workers-hour

Labor productivity After=(100 carts per hour+4 carts per hour)/4 workers

Labor productivity After=(104carts per hour /4 workers

Labor productivity After=26 cart per workers-hour

B. Computation of the multifactor productivity under each system.

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/(6 workers*$11 per hour)+$40 per hour

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/($66 per hour+$40 per hour)

Multifactor productivity Before=100 carts per hour/$106 per hour

Multifactor productivity Before=0.94 carts per hour

Multifactor productivity before=(100carts per hour + 4carts per hour)/(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /(4 workers * $11 per hour$)+($40 per hour+12 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /($66 per hour+$52 per hour)

Multifactor productivity before=(104carts per hour /118per hour

Multifactor productivity before=0.94 carts per hour

Answer:

1.d)1 22/32

2. b)45/64

3. c)3 1/3

4. a)98.19

5. b)5%

Explanation:

1. 54/32 converted to a mixed number is ________.a) 22/32 b)1.6875 c) 1/38 d)1 22/32

Mixed number is another way of writing improper fraction

54/32= 1 (54 - 32)/32

= 1 22/32

Therefore, option d) 1 22/32 is the correct option

2. The product of one and four thirty-seconds and twenty thirty-seconds is ________. a)1 24/32 b)45/64 c)56/32

d)720

One and four thirty-seconds = 1 4/32

Twenty thirty-seconds = 20/32

= 1 4/32 × 20/32

= 36/32 × 20/32

= 9/8 × 5/8

= 45/64

Therefore, option b)45/64 is the correct option

3. One and eight thirty-seconds divided by twelve thirty-seconds is ________. a)480/1024 b)20/1024 c)3 1/3 d)3 40/32

One and eight thirty-seconds = 1 8/32

Twelve thirty-seconds = 12/32

= 1 8/32 ÷ 12/32

= 40/32 ÷ 12/32

= 40/32 × 32/12

= 40/12

= 3 4/12

= 3 1/3

Therefore, option c) 3 1/3 is the correct option

4. A u.S. Treasury bond is trading at 98 and 6/32. Convert this price to its decimal form. a)98.19 b)96.63 c)9/86 d)98.06

98 and 6/32 = 98 + 6/32

We convert 6/32 to decimal

= 98 + 0.1875

= 98.1875

≈ 98.19

Therefore, Option a is the correct option

5. What is the percentage increase if the s&p 500 index is currently trading at 1,100 and rises 55 points? a)4.5% b)5% c)55% d)5.5%

Percentage increase = Increase/ Orginal amount × 100

Increase = 55 points

Original amount = 1,100

Percentage Increase = 55/1100 × 100

= 0.05 × 100

= 5%

Therefore, option b)5% is the correct option
