The fifth unit of a 25-unit job took 14.5 hours to complete. If a 90 percent learning curve is appropriate:a. How long should it take to complete the last unit?b. How long should it take to complete the 10th unit?c. Estimate the average time per unit for the 25 units.
A manager wants to estimate the remaining time that will be needed to complete a five-unit job. The initial unit of the job required 12 hours, and the work has a learning percentage of 77. Estimate the total time remaining to complete the job.
The 4th unit of a 10-unit job took seven hours to complete. The 6th unit has been worked on for two hours, but is not yet finished. Estimate the additional amount of time needed to finish the 6th unit if the work has a 65% learning curve slope
O a. 6.143 hours
O b. 5.114 hours
O c. 3.441 hours
O d. 3.058 hours
