Julia and Makayla work at Fruit Fusion, a smoothie shop. Currently, they each work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. With this setup, they are able to collectively produce 180 smoothies each day. Julia and Makayla each cost $300 per day (salary and benefits), and the daily overhead costs amount to $200. Ingredient cost is on a per smoothie basis and may be ignored. One of their friends, Lexi, asked if she could work full-time with them at Fruit Fusion. She would initially cost $275 per day (salary and benefits). The daily smoothie production is expected to increase to 290 smoothies with Lexi, and the overhead would increase to $350 per day due to additional equipment, insurance etc. Calculate the difference in multi-factor productivity between the current setup and the setup with Lexi (units should be Smoothies per $, round to three decimals i.e. X.xxx)
