  • A firm must make a bid on a contract to make 12 units of a new product. Engineering analysis indicates that the nature of this product and its manufacturing processes resemble those for the firm’s current model, so the firm decides to base its bid on the 85 percent learning rate it experienced on that model. If engineers estimate that the first unit will require 10 hours of labor, how many hours will the 12 unit require? How many hours will the firm take to make all 12 units?

  • EXPLAIN YOUR ANSWER COMPREHENSIVELY. Mr. Jobert commissioned you to estimate the construction of a certain structure. As Engineers, our job includes giving detailed estimate inclusive of labor and materials. If approved, the contract for building the structure will be awarded to you. However, Mr. Jobert already had a previous consultation with Prudencio, an independent foreman, who offered labor and services at a cheaper price. How will you convince Mr. Jobert to engage in your services instead of Prudencio's? Cite applicable provisions of the Code of Ethics for such situation.
