a) What are the inputs and output and their values in the Atlantic milk factory? (2
marks)
b) Calculate the multifactor productivity for both systems. (3 marks)
c) Assume that current production system includes 900 gallons of Grade-A milk sold at
$3.40/gallon, 600 gallons of Grade-B milk at $2.90/gallon and 1000 gallons of Grade-C
milk at $1.50/gallon. Furthermore, assume that under the new system, processing will
include 2000 gallons of Grade-A milk at $2.40/gallon and 1400 gallons of Grade-B milk
at $1.90/gallon. Compare the multifactor productivity in the existing and new systems.
