Amir spent $5,500 on a new kiln this year in the belief that it would increase his overall gains by 13% over last year. This kiln is an oven that turns "greenware" into finished pottery. Amir is concerned that the new kiln requires extra labor hours for its operation, and wants to check the energy savings of the new oven, and also to look over other measures of their productivity to see if the change really was beneficial. Amir has the following data to work with: Last Year This Year Production (finished units) 3,800 4,750 Greenware (pounds) 3.200 3,750 Labor (hrs) 370 400 Capital ($) $14,500 $22,000 Energy (kWh) 2,880 2.550 Amir has other considerations when determining productivity. They are: Greenware averages $27.50 per pound, average labor costs are $12.50, his average capital invested is 3%, and the average cost of energy per BTU is $0.55 Factoring all of the data and the other considerations, answer the following: a.
