This learning curve effect will continue up to 4.000 units of production at constant rate But after 4.000 units of production unit variable manufacturing cost would be equal to the unit cost at the 4 batch. The manufacturing unit cost of the first batch will be Rs. 6.600 of which only 50% is subjected to learning and experience curve effect.

- Salt & Pepper & Co (Salt & Pepper) is a firm of Chartered Certified Accountants which has seen its revenue decline steadily over the past few years. The firm is looking to increase its revenue and client base and so has developed a new advertising strategywhere it has guaranteed that its audits will minimise disruption to companies as they will not last longer than two weeks.
