You have been asked to estimate the selling price per unit of a new production line
of a certain product. Pertinent data are as follows:
Direct labor rate
Production material
Factory overhead
Packing costs
Desired profit
RO 15.00 per hour
RO 375 per 100 items
125% of direct labor
25% of direct cost
30% of total manufacturing cost
Past experience has shown that 83% learning curve applies to the labor required for
production these items. The time to complete the first item has been estimated to
be 1.86 hours. Use the estimated time to complete the 50h item as your standard
time for the purpose of estimating the unit selling price.
Please do not give solution in image format thanku
For a production process of 30 units with a learning rate of 85% and a cost of $75 to produce the first unit, construct a table displaying the Cost to Product the Nth Unit and the Cumulative Cost for units 1 through 30.
National Company is planning to introduce a new product with an 85 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 cumulative average time per batch using the incremental unit-time learning curve for 2,000 units?
