Fountain Precision Products (FPP) manufactures high-technology measurement systems. The systems are both complex and unique in the sense that only a handful are sold, usually to a single customer's specification. The last unit of model FPP-28X sold was the eighth produced. The labor cost for that unit was $6,610.56 and required 127.4612 hours of labor. The second unit produced required 177.0000 hours of labor. Required: a. Assuming that learning has been consistent for this product, what is the rate of learning? b. Assuming that the hourly labor rate has remained the same, what was the labor cost to produce the fourth unit?

Each term (3 months) the current group of economics students completed a questionnaire as to how much they would spend on new purchases compared to how much they would save/pay off bills, if they suddenly and unexpectedly received a check for $1,000. The average MPC is shown in the table below. Month in which student poll was taken Average of students’ responses as MPC March 0.41 June 0.30 September 0.22 December 0.56 What do these MPC’s imply about the students’ thinking over the course of the year? (Enter response here.) What is likely happening in the economy during the same period of time?
