1. Ilhan’s, a local bakery, is worried about increased costs – particularly energy. Last year’s
records can provide a fairly good estimate of the parameters for this year. Ilhan Balci,
the owner, does not believe things have changed much, but he did invest an additional 3
000 MU for modifications to the bakery’s ovens to make them more energy efficient. The
modifications were supposed to make the ovens at least 15 % more efficient. I. Balci has
asked you, as a brilliant graduate of EMU, to check the energy savings of the new ovens
and also look over other measures of the bakery’s productivity to see if the
modifications were beneficial. You have the following data to work with:
Production (dozen)
Labour (hours)
Capital Investment (MU)
Energy (kw-hrs)

2. Serra’s Ceramics spent 3 000 MU on a new kiln last year, in the belief that it would cut
energy usage 25 % over the old kiln. This kiln is an oven that turns “greenware” into
finished pottery. Serra is concerned that the new kiln requires extra labour hours for its
operation. Serra wants to check the energy saving of the new oven, and also to look over
other measures of their productivity to see if the change really was beneficial.
