NUBD, is beginning the production of a new product. Management believes that 500 labor hours will be required to complete the new unit. An 85 percent incremental unit-time learning curve model for direct labor hours is assumed to be valid. Assume the q = -0.2345. What is the total hours for 3 units?

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…arrow_forward.

- 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.
