1. (TCO 1) A company has found that introducing one additional worker enables a process improvement that reduces processing time for each unit so that output is increased by 25% with less material. Under the old process, five workers could produce 60 units per hour. Labor costs are $12/hour, and material input was previously $16/unit. For the new process, material is now $10/unit. Overhead is charged at 1.6 times direct labor cost. Finished units sell for $31 each. What increase in productivity is associated with the process improvement?
