The Emerson Corporation, a manufacturer of airplane landing gear equipment, is trying to develop a learning curve model to help forecast labor costs for successive units of one of its products. From past data, the firm knows that labor costs of the 25th, 75th, and 125th units were $800, $600, and $500, respectively.

Judy wanted to transfer to another department where the employees made more money (in higher evaluated jobs) and supposedly did less work.
