Mark's Ceramics spent 4000 on a new kiln last year in the belief that it would cut annual energy usage 25 over the old kiln. This kiln is an oven that turns greenware into finished pottery.
 
  Mark is concerned that the new kiln requires extra labor hours for its operation. Mark 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. Mark has the following data to work with:
 
   Last Year This Year
  Production (finished units) 4000 4000
  Greenware (pounds) 5000 5000
  Labor (hrs) 350 375
  Capital () 15000 19000
  Energy (kWh) 3000 2600
 
  Were the modifications beneficial?
