Summary Introduction
To determine: Consequences of new product in the market.
Introduction
In 2012-13 PGC postponed the launch of its first car. This would have caused a loss of the image of the company. However, since it was its first attempt into a new market. It would not matter so much.At the most it would have cost a bit doubt on the company’s ability to deliver a car.

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 =

hours (round your response to the nearest whole number). Part 5. Cost of the seventh unit?
You are setting up a new production line for a new type of delivery drones. You observed that the cost for the 10th unit was $6296.33 and the cost for the 80th unit was $4146.15.
a) What is the K for the learning curve model of this production line?
b) What is the s for the learning curve model of this production line?
c) At which unit does its production cost start to be less than $1500?
National Company is planning to introduce a new product with an 90 percent learning rate for production for batches of 1,000 units. The variable labor costs are P30 per unit for the first 1,000-unit batch. Each batch requires 100 hours. There are P10,000 in fixed costs not subject to learning.
What is the total labor cost for the cumulative total time using the incremental unit-time learning curve to produce 2,000 units?

- 9. Manufacturer Ċ went through serious process changes in order to eliminate unnecessary processes from the work flow. However they have to bare the slow down in the process for a while due to this transition. They want to estimate when they can reach to the expected performance level based on a 'learning curve' study. For a certain task they have measured a completion time of 137 minutes in the first time an average employee finished the renewed task.

They will be built completely from scratch to the exact specifications used for the originals. As further authentication, the aircraft will be made using the technologyand manufacturing processes available when the originals were built. Each of the 16 airplanes will beflown to Air Force and aviation museums throughout the country for exhibition. Aviation enthusiastscan also visit the production facility to see exactly how such aircraft were built in 1938.Soren Industries wants to bid on the aircraft contract and asked for and received certain costinformation about the Four F Sixes from the Air Force. The information includes some of the oldcost data from the builders of the original aircraft. The available information is for the total accumulated time as the 1st, 8th, and 32nd aircraft, respectively, were completed. The data reflect a learningrate of 90%.[LO…arrow_forward
