George Kyparisis makes bowling balls in his Miami plant. With recent increases in his costs, he has a newfound interest in efficiency. George is interested in determining the productivity of his organization. He would like to know if his organization is maintaining the manufacturing average of a 3% increase in productivity. He has the following data representing a month from last year and an equivalent month this year: Units Produced Labor (hours) Resin (pounds) Capital Invested ($) Energy (BTU) Last Year 1,000 300 55 10,000 2,950 Now 1,000 250 48 12,500 2,500 The productivity change for each of the inputs (Labor, Resin, Capital, and Energy) is: Labor Productivity Change =% (enter your response as a percentage rounded to two decimal places and include a minus sign if necessary).
