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?

Question 19 Lot's say you run a simulation and figure out that your sample bs one of the likely sampies that could have come from a DGP of 0. What would that mean? • A That is a good sign. Our model is good and probably explains a lot of variation. • B This is a bad sign for our model because a DGP of 0 means there is no relationship between the explanatory and outcome variable. • C This does not mean anything for our model. We have to run supernova to find out about how good our model is. • Dit depends on what our b Type Markdown and LaTeX: a Question 20 14 MacBook Pro
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?

1. A Travel-Cost Method Now it is time for your first consulting job as an environmental economist. The Forest Service would like to know whether they should preserve some national forest land, previously slated to be logged, for hiking. You are helping do a travel-cost analysis to estimate the annual benefits of hiking in this area. Survey data has been gathered from 500 hikers who visited the forest last year. This forest did not charge an entrance fee. Using a statistical technique called regression analysis, you have controlled for differences in income, employment status, age, and other important factors that might affect the number of hiking trips taken. Taking these factors into account, you have developed the following relationship: Zone 1 2 3 Population in zone 1,000 3.000 2,000 Cost Per Hiking Trip Per Person 20 40 80 Hiking Trips Taken Per Zonal Person Per Year 8 6 2 where cost includes gas, tolls, fares, hotels, entry fees, and the value of time spent traveling. a.
