Assume that the first unit of production required 2 hours time for assembly. The learning curve rate is 75%. Find the time to assemble the 8th unit? a. 4.5 hours b. 1.27 hours c. 2.27 hours d. 0.85 hours
Added by Emily L.
Step 1
So, the time to produce the 2nd unit would be 75% of the time it took to produce the 1st unit, which is 2 hours * 0.75 = 1.5 hours. Similarly, the time to produce the 3rd unit would be 75% of the time it took to produce the 2nd unit, which is 1.5 hours * 0.75 = Show more…

The cumulative average labor hours to assemble the first five units of product A was 15.901 hours. If the learning curve, based on the previous experience with similar products, is 85%, what is the estimated time (labor hours) that will be required to assemble the 15th unit? The number of labor hours required to assemble the 15th unit is ? hours. (Round to one decimal place.)

The first unit of a product took 1,000 hours to build and the learning curve is 85%. How long will it take to make the first 5 units? *

Cost The weekly cost $C$ of producing $x$ units in a manufacturing process is given by $$C(x)=60 x+750$$. The number of units $x$ produced in $t$ hours is $x(t)=50 t$ (a) Find and interpret $C(x(t))$ (b) Find the number of units produced in 4 hours. (c) Use a graphing utility to graph the cost as a function of time. Use the trace feature to estimate (to two-decimal- place accuracy) the time that must elapse until the cost increases to $\$ 15,000$ .
