a.Compute the labor productivity and the multifactor productivity for each unit. Use an 8 hour day for multifactor productivity. And if a new procedure is introduced that allows employees to process one additional customer per day, compute the expected labor and multifactor productivity rates for each unit.
b. Suppose a new, more standardized procedure is to be introduced that will enable each employee to process one additional customer per day. Compute the expected labor and multifactor productivity rates for each unit
