Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 12CQ
The learning curve coefficient LCC(10, 0.8) captures:
- a. the cost to produce one unit in a process with c(1) = 1, a cumulative output of 10, and a learning rate of 0.8.
- b. the cost to produce one unit in a process with c(1) = 10, a cumulative output of 1, and a learning rate of 0.8.
- c. the cost to produce 10 units of output in a process with c(1) = 1, a cumulative output of 1, and a learning rate of 0.8.
- d. the cost to produce 10 units of output in a process with c(1) = 1, a cumulative output of 10, and a learning rate of 0.8.

Honda Motor Company has discovered a problem in the exhaust system of one of its automobile lines and has voluntarily agreed to
make the necessary modifications to conform with government safety requirements. Standard procedure is for the firm to pay a flat fee
to dealers for each modification completed. Honda is trying to establish a fair amount of compensation to pay dealers and has decided
to choose a number of randomly selected mechanics and observe their performance and learning rate. Based on the results of this
test, Honda then decided to pay a $60 fee for each repair (3 hours x $20 per flat-rate hour).
Southwest Honda, Incorporated is considering whether to participate in the program. If they can average three hours or less on each
repair (what Honda is willing to pay them for), it will make sense for them to agree. They performed their own test repairs to help in
their decision process. Six mechanics, working independently, have completed two modifications each. On…
Explain how one instructional strategy (e.g., collaborative learning, modeling, discovery learning) supports learning outcomes.
Standard and Objective
Estimate and measure the length of an object by selecting and using appropriate tools, such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes to the nearest inch, foot, yard, centimeter, and meter.
Learning Objective
After the lesson on estimating and measuring the length of objects by selecting and using appropriate tools, such as rulers, yardsticks, meter sticks, and measuring tapes, the students will solve 10 problems on a worksheet and score at least 8/10 or 80%.
Systems that have this characteristic usually have near zero learning are?

- Lazer Technologies Incorporated (LTI) has produced a total of 20 high-power laser systems that could be used to destroy any approaching enemy missiles or aircraft. The 20 units have been produced, funded in part as private research within the research and development arm of LTI, but the bulk of the funding came from a contract with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD). Testing of the laser units has shown that they are effective defense weapons, and through redesign to add portability and easier field maintenance, the units could be truck-mounted. DoD has asked LTI to submit a bid for 100 units. The 20 units that LTI has built so far cost the following amounts and are listed in the order in which they were produced: Use Exhibit 4A 5 and Exhibit 4A.6.
