Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 3P
Nite-Site, Inc., manufactures image intensification devices used in products such as night-vision goggles and aviator’s night-vision imaging systems. The primary customer for these products is the U.S. military. The military requires that learning curves be employed in the bid process for awarding military contracts. The company is planning to make a bid for 120 image intensifiers to be used in a military vehicle. The company estimates the first unit will require 80 hours of direct labor to produce. The industry learning curve for this particular type of product is 92%. Determine how many hours will be required to produce the 60th and 120th units.

- State the application of learning curves?arrow_forwardPlot and analyze learning curves?arrow_forwardces 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…arrow_forward

He suddenly smells the aroma of fresh cinnamon rolls, and his mouth begins to water. He looks around the room and sees a student in the last row bite into a big, juicy roll. "I wish I were sitting next to him," Franky thinks, "because I know I could steal a bite.". This process is more closely associated with which of the following learning methods?

- 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%.arrow_forwardDiscuss the ethical implications of using AI-generated data for training machine learning models.arrow_forwardOnly typed explanation otherwise leave it United Research Associates (URA) had received a contract to produce two units of a new cruise missile guidance control. The first unit took 5,000 hours to complete and cost $30,000 in materials and equipment usage. The second took 3,750 hours and cost $19,500 in materials and equipment usage. Labor cost is charged at $25 per hour. The company expects “learning” to occur relative to labor and also the pricing of parts from suppliers. The prime contractor has now approached URA and asked to submit a bid for the cost of producing another 20 guidance controls. a. What will the last unit cost to build? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) b. What will be the average time for the 20 missile guidance controls? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) c. What will the average cost be for guidance control for the 20 in the contract? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)arrow_forward
