Answer:
-0.53191
Explanation:
The computation of the percentage change is given below:
Productivity
In the year 2019 is
= $300,000 ÷ (40,000 + 45,000)
= 3.5294118
In the year 2020 is
= $330,000 ÷ (43,000 + 51,000)
= 3.5106383
Now the percentage change is
= (3.5106383 - 3.5294118) ÷ 3.5294118
= -0.53191
The percentage change in the multifactor labor and raw materials productivity measure from 2019 to 2020 was -0.53%
The multifactor labor and raw materials productivity measure is calculated by the formula:
= Sales / (Raw materials + labor)
In 2019 this was:
= 300,000 / (40,000 + 45,000)
= 3.5294
In 2020 it was:
= 330,000 / (43,000 + 51,000)
= 3.5106
The percentage difference is:
= (3.5106 - 3.5294) / 3.5294
= -0.0188 / 3.5294
= -0.53 %
The percentage change was therefore -0.53%.
