following results:

a$.$ Calculate partial labor and capital pductivity figures for the parent and subsidiary. Do the

results seem confusing?

b$.$ Compute the multifactor productivity figures for labor and capital together. Do the results

make more sense?

c$.$ Calculate raw material productivity figures $($units$/$$ where $$1=10$ units of the foreign

currency$).$ Explain why these figures might be greater in the subsidiary.
