1) It took a contractor 1285 hours to manufacture their first unit of an item. If the contractor expects to achieve a 92% unit learning curve, how many hours would be required to manufacture units 51-100? (Use the tables provided in the lesson).



290,475

37,488

284,398

38,289

Each doubling in quantity will result in a reduction in the unit cost by the same percentage.

Each repetition (or unit produced) will cost less than the prior repetition (or unit produced) by the same amount.

Each doubling in quantity will result in a reduction in the unit cost by the same amount.
