- Suad Alwan, the purchasing agent for Dubai Airlines, has determined that the second plane took 18,000 hours to produce. Using an 85% learning curve and a $35-per-hour labor charge, he wants to determine the cost of the six additional planes. Part 2 Time required for the sixth unit = 13900 hours (round your response to the nearest whole number). Part 3 Cost of the sixth unit = 486500 dollars (round your response to the nearest whole number). Part 4 Time required for the seventh unit = enter your response here hours (round your response to the nearest whole number). Part 5. Cost of the seventh unit?arrow_forwardThe product adx takes 77 hours for production of 1 unit, where learning curve rate is 57% and what will be the total time taken by 2th unit of product S using incremental unit time method ?arrow_forwardK Girish Shambu and Delores Reisel are teammates at a discount store; their new job is assembling bicycles for customers. Assembly of a bike has a learning rate of 80%. They forgot to time their effort on the first bike, but st 5 hours on the second. They have 6 more bikes to do. Determine approximately how much time will be (was) required for: a) The 1st unit = 6.25 hours (round your response to two decimal places). b) The 8th unit = 3.20 hours (round your response to two decimal places). c) The total amount of hours to build the 8 units = hours (round your response to two decimal places).arrow_forward
- Hi, I need help solving this OM problem. Thank you!arrow_forwardSchumacher & Company recently introduced a new ATM system. The Company’s MoneyMatic Division assembles these systems from purchased hardware, using its in-house developed software. It just completed assembling the first batch of 15 units. The last unit (#15) produced required 50 hours of labor, and the learning rate was estimated to be 94 percent for these systems. Another order for 25 units (#16 - #40) of the same system has just arrived. 1) What is the estimated time for the 40th unit? 2) How many total labor hours will be needed to satisfy this second batch (#16 - #40) ? 3) What is the average time to produce this second batch?arrow_forwardThe product TRX takes 9.99 hours for production of 1 unit, where learning curve rate is 77% and what will be the total time taken by 8th unit of product TRX using incremental unit time method ?arrow_forward
