1. Compute the partial and multifactor productivity measure for each of the week’s shown. What

do the productivity figures suggest? The standard price is Br. 140 per unit. Assume 40-hour

weeks and an hourly wage of Br. 12. Overhead is 1.5 times weekly labor cost. Material cost is

Br. 6 per pound. (Hint: use raw materials, labor and overhead cost in your calculation by

assuming that there are also other resources)
