For the last ten years, the Universal Company has produced an average of 100 units per hour,<br>25 percent of which are defective, yielding 75 good units per hour. The board of directors<br>now demands that top management increases productivity by 10 percent. The directives go<br>out to the employees, who are told that instead of producing 100 units per hour, they must<br>produce 110 units per hour. Responsibility for producing more units falls on the employees,<br>creating stress, frustration, and fear. They try to meet the new demands, but must cut corners<br>to do so. The pressure to raise productivity creates a defect rate of 25 percent and only<br>increases production to 104 units, yielding 78 good units per hour, two fewer than the original<br>80 good units per hour. Calculate the percentage (%) change in productivity. (Round off to<br>two decimal places).<br>
