    Total Productivity:

    * For last year: 1.70

    * For this year: 1.48

    Explanation:

    We have the total productivity is equal to Sales / Total resources spent.

    So, the calculation for productivity as followed:

    * For last year:

    + Sales = 200,010

    + Total resources spent = Labor + Raw materials + Energy + Capital + other = 30,010 + 35,100 + 5,100 + 45,500 + 2,100 = 117,810

    => Productivity = 200,010 / 117,810 = 1.70

    * For this year:

    + Sales = 201,050

    + Total resources spent = Labor + Raw materials + Energy + Capital + other = 40,010 + 41,500 + 6,010 + 45,500 + 3,010 = 136,030

    => Productivity = 201,050/136,030 = 1.48.
