Answer:
Increase in the production of energy means that the energy was saved
Labor productivity also increased
Explanation:
Change in energy producton
Previous Year: (1,500x12)/3,000
=18,000/3,000
=6.0 loaves per unit
Current Year: (1500*12)/2,750
=18,000/2,750
=6.55 loaves per unit
The above calculation indicates a positive change in energy production. This means that there was some degree of energy saving.
Change in labor
Previous Year: (1500x12)/350
=18,000/350
= 51.43 loaves/labor hour
This Year: (1500x12)/325
= 18,000/325
= 55.38 loaves/labor hour
This calculation also signifies an increase in labor productivity.
Change in Investment
Previous Year: (1500x12)/15000
=18,000/15,000
= 1.2 loaves/$ investment
This Year : (1500x12)/18000
=18,000/18,000
= 1.0 loaves/$ investment
Investment is lowered which is a positive sign.
