Suppose a manufacturer of copiers has concluded that a 70 percent learning curve applies to the time a beginning service technician takes to install copy machines. Use the Learning Curve Excel template to answer the following questions: If the time required to install the first copy machine is estimated to be five hours, what is an estimate of the time required by a new technician to install the second and third copiers? Round your answers to one decimal place. For x = 2 it takes hours For x = 3 it takes hours If the learning rate changes to 65 or 95 percent, what is an estimate of the time required by a new technician to install the second and third copiers? Round your answers to one decimal place. For x = 2 and a 65% LC, it takes hours For x = 3 and a 65% LC, it takes hours For x = 2 and a 95% LC, it takes hours For x = 3 and a 95% LC, it takes hours

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%.
A newly established electric car company estimates that the manufacturing time for their 4th car to be 77.0 hours. Given an 85.0 learning percentage and a labor/overhead cost of $650 per hour, what's the total labor/overhead cost for the first set of 10 cars of the run
Temple Trucking Co. just hired Ed Rosenthal to verify daily invoices and accounts payable. He took 7 hours and 42 minutes to complete his task on the first day.

Kelly-Lambing, Inc., a builder of government contracted small ships, has a steady work force of 10 very skilled craftspeople. These workers can supply 2,440 labor-hours each per year. Kelly-Lambing is about to undertake a new contract, building a new style of boat. The first boat is expected to take 6,100 hours to complete. The firm thinks that 75% is the expected learning rate. What is the firm's "capacity" to make these boats-that is, how many units can the firm make in 1 year? If the operations manager can increase the learning rate to 70% instead of 75%, how many units can the firm make? (Round all numerical responses in this exercise to the nearest whole number.) Total time available = 24400 hours. Number of Boats 4 5 6 7 8 Total Time 75% Learning Rate 17971 21099 23999 26719
