From the following data:Week Output (units) Workers Material (lbs) 1 400 8 50 2 500 9 60a) Compute the multifactor productivity (labor + material + overhead) week 1. Assume 40-hour work week and an hourly wage rate of $10. Overhead is 3 times weekly labor cost, material cost is $15 per pound, and the product sells for $100 per unit. Compute both output and input in dollars.Week 1 Output Input:400 x 100 = $40,000 Labor = 40 x 8 x 10 = $3,200Overhead = 3 x 3,200 = $9,600Material = 50 x 15 = $ 750 Total = $13,550Therefore, productivity = 40,000/13,550 = 2.953.
