CHAPTER 6: LEARNING CURVE (MONDAY) 1. The unit improvement factor for a 60 percent learning curve at 25 units is 0.0933. The first and second timings of a person doing a job are 5 minutes and 3 minutes respectively. What is the learning-adjusted time estimate for unit number 25? 2. You have just timed a person doing a job a few times. The first time it took the person 25 minutes, the second time it took 20 minutes, and the...
What is the estimate of the cumulative average hours per unit required to produce the first 5 units of a production run that has a(n) 78% learning curve, if the first unit takes 61 hours? (HINT: skip unit)
Learning Curve percentage 0.80 Exponent for an 80% learning curve -0.321900 Direct Material Cost, per unit $74,400.00 DMLH, for first unit 2,790.00 DML$, per hour $23.25 VMOH, per DMLH $13.95 (6) Calculate the total variable cost of producing 2, 4, 8, and 16 units, using the Cumulative average-time model. (7) Calculate the total variable cost of producing 2, 3, 4, and 5 units, using the Incremental unit-time model.

Part IV-Problems (55 points) A. Highestec, Inc is beginning the production of a new product. Management believes that 500 labor hours will be required to complete the new unit. A 90 percent cumulative average-time learning curve model for direct labor hours is assumed to be valid. Data on costs are as follows: S50,000 per unit s20 per direct labor hour $30 per direct labor hour Direct materials Direct labor Variable manufacturing overhead Required: a. Set up a table with columns...
It took MegaTech, Inc. 200,000 labor-hours to produce the first of several oil drilling rigs for Antarctic exploration. Your company, Natural Resources, Inc. has agreed to purchase the fifth oil drilling rig from their manufacturing yard. Assume that MegaTech experiences a learning rate of 75%. At a labor rate of $38 per hour, what should you, as the purchasing agent expect to pay for the fifth unit? TN = T1C, Where TN = Time needed to produce the Nth unit...
3) Assume that the first unit of production required 3 hours time for assembly. The learning curve rate is 75%. Find the time needed to assemble the first 6 units?
