The personnel manager of Powerwest Inc. wants to estimate the direct and cumulative average direct labor hours for producing 30 locomotive train units during the next year. He estimates from past experience that the learning rate is 90 percent. The production department estimate that manufacturing the first unit will take 30,000 hours. Each employee averages 200 hours per month. The production rate forecast is as follows: Month Production Rate (units) Month Production Rate (units) January 2 July 2 February 3 August 4 March 2 September 3 April 4 October 3 May 3 November 1 June 2 December 1 Show/explain step by step, so I fully understand the process. How many direct hours are required to produce the 30th unit? How many total hours are needed to produce all 30 units? What is the maximum number of employees required next year? If the learning rate were to change to 0.85, what would be the impact on the total hours…

A contractor intends to bid on a job installing 30 airport security systems. Because this will be a new line of work for the contractor, he believes there will be a learning effect for the job. After reviewing time records from a similar type of activity, the contractor is convinced that an 85 percent curve is appropriate. He estimates that the first job will take his crew eight days to install. Use the following table for calculation.

Cumulative Average-Time Learning CurvePohlman Company makes aircraft engines. Pohlman has noticed that, in general, each new engine design is subject to an 80 percent learning rate. Assume that the first unit produced takes500 hours, and direct labor is paid an average of $30 per hour. Required:1. Set up a table with columns showing: the cumulative number of units, cumulative average time per unit in hours, and cumulative total time in hours. Show results by row for total pro-duction of: one engine, two engines, four engines, eight engines, sixteen engines, and thirty-two engines. (Round hour answers to two significant digits.) 2. What is the total labor cost if Pohlman manufactures the following number of engines: one,four, or sixteen? What is the average cost per engine for the following number of engines:one, four, or sixteen? (Round your answers to the nearest dollar.)3. What if Pohlman is preparing a bid to build 16 engines?
