Question

Transcribed Image Text:Manceville Air has just produced the first unit of a large industrial compressor that incorporated
new technology in the control circuits and a new internal venting system. The first unit took 112
hours of labor to manufacture. The company knows from past experience that this labor content
will decrease significantly as more units are produced. In reviewing past production data, it
appears that the company has experienced a 80% learning curve when producing similar designs.
The company is interested in estimating the total time to complete the next 7 units.
Your job as the production cost estimator is to prepare the estimate.
Refer to Table:
a) Total manufacturing time for the: First 8 units_
nearest whole number)
b) Manufacturing time for the last 7 units(i.e., units 2 thru 8) =
response to the nearest whole number)
