Compute the profit-linked productivity measure. By how much did profits increase due to productivity? If required, round your intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest dollar amount. 2. Calculate the price-recovery component for 20x2. If required, round your intermediate calculations and final answers to the nearest dollar amount.
