Consider the preparation of income tax statements. The process starts with an initialcost c(1) = 45 and a learning rate of LR = 0.95, and by now has reached a cumulativeoutput of 100. Using the LCC method, what unit costs do you expect for the 100th unit?
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%.
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?

- 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.
