Mariah Enterprises makes a variety of consumer electronic products. Its camera manufacturing plant is considering choosing between two different processes, named Alpha and Beta, which can be used to make a component part. To make th correct decision, the managers would like to compare the labor and multifactor productivity of process Alpha with that of process Beta. The value of process output for Alpha and Beta is $150 per unit of product A and $140 per unit of product and the corresponding overhead costs for Alpha and Beta are $7,000 and $5,000, respectively.

In the Loans & Credits department of a TD Bank branch, there are 700 loan applications per week waiting to be processed. There are currently 8 employees (each works for 7 hours a day, 5 days a week) working in the department for processing the loan applications.( a ) What is the employee productivity (in applications/hour)?( b ) Due to the current economic situation, the director of the department anticipatesthat there will be a significant increase in the number of loan applications. If there are 1960 applications per week and the director wishes to increase the employee productivity to 3.5 applications per hour, how many additional employee should be hired?
Mark Tuan, the Production Manager at MT Mills, can currently expect his operation to produce1000 square yards of fabric for each ton of raw cotton. Each ton of raw cotton requires 5 laborhours to process. He believes that he can buy a better-quality raw cotton, which will enable himto produce 1200 square yards per ton of raw cotton with the same labor hours.What will be the impact on productivity (measured in square yards per labor-hour) if hepurchases the higher quality raw cotton? You are required to calculate: a) Productivity for the current raw cotton? b) The new productivity if Mark Tuan use the new raw cotton. c) What is the percentage increase in productivity?

A firm plans to begin production of a new small appliance. The manager must decide whether to purchase the motors for the appliance from a vendor at $7 each or to produce them in-house. Either of two processes could be used for in-house production; Process A would have an annual fixed cost of $180,000 and a variable cost of $6 per unit, and Process B would have an annual fixed cost of $190,000 and a variable cost of $5 per unit. Determine the range of annual volume for which each of the alternatives would be best.
