    The document calculates a doll maker's total (multifactor) productivity with her current production of 240 dolls and costs of $984, yielding a productivity of 0.24. With a new production of 360 dolls and costs of $1404, her productivity is 0.26. If a new paint increases material costs by $0.50 per doll, productivity with 360 dolls and total costs of $1584 would decrease to 0.23.

    Viewing this from a total (multifactor) productivity perspective, what is her productivity at

    present and with the new paint?


     
    Present: 
    Given: 
    # of dolls= 240
    Supplies cost = $20
    Energy cost = $4
    Labor cost = 12 hours per day*10 per hour = $120
    Material cost = 3.50 per doll * 240 dolls= $840
     
    Formula:
    total (multifactor) productivity  = # of dolls/ (Total costs)
     
    Total cost: Labor + material + supplies + energy
    Total cost: 120 + 840 +20 + 4 
    Total cost = 984
     
    total (multifactor) productivity  =240/984
    total (multifactor) productivity  =0.24
     
    New: 
    Given: 
    # of dolls= 360
    Supplies cost = $20
    Energy cost = $4
    Labor cost = 12 hours per day*10 per hour = $120
    Material cost = 3.50 per doll * 360 dolls= $1260
     
    Formula:
    total (multifactor) productivity  = # of dolls/ (Total costs)
     
    Total cost: Labor + material + supplies + energy
    Total cost: 120 +1260 +20 + 4 
    Total cost = 1404
     
    total (multifactor) productivity  =360/ 1404
    total (multifactor) productivity  =0.26
     
    How would total (multifactor) productivity change if using the new paint raised Ms. French's
    material costs by $0.50 per doll?
    Given: 
    3.50 + 0.50 = $4
    # of dolls= 360
    Supplies cost = $20
    Energy cost = $4
    Labor cost = 12 hours per day*10 per hour = $120
    Material cost = 4 per doll * 360 dolls= $1440
     
    Total cost: Labor + material + supplies + energy
    Total cost: 120 +1440 +20 + 4 
    Total cost = 1584
     
    total (multifactor) productivity  =360/ 1584
    total (multifactor) productivity  =0.23
