Ashley Technology Inc. manufactures a scrambling device for cellular telephones. The devices main component is a delicate part, CT140. CT140 is easily damaged and requires careful handling. Once damaged, it must be discarded. The firm hires only skilled laborers to manufacture and install CT140; however, some are still damaged. Robotic instruments process all other parts. Ashleys operating data for 2 years are as follows:

2019 2018
Units manufactured 1,450,000 1,700,000
Number of CT140 used 1,730,000 2,000,000
Number of direct labor hours spent 290,000 340,000
Cost of CT140 per unit $ 170 $ 149
Direct labor wage rate per hour $ 70 $ 76

1. Compute the partial operational productivity for both direct materials and direct labor for each of the 2 years. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)
