10-36 Cost estimation, incremental unit-time learning model. Assume the same information for the Blue Seas Company as in Problem 10-35 with one exception. This exception is that Blue Seas uses a 90% incremental unit-time learning model as a basis for predicting direct manufacturing labor-hours in its assembling operations. (A 90% learning curve means b = −0.152004.)

1. Prepare a prediction of the total costs for producing the six PT109s for the Navy.

2. If you solved requirement 1 of Problem 10-35, compare your cost prediction there with the one you made here. Why are the predictions different? How should Blue Seas decide which model it should use?
