D 1. A company is preparing a bid on a government contract for 40 units of a certain

product. The operation manager estimates the assembly time required for the first two
units to be 10.4 hours and 8.8 hours respectively. What is the appropriate learning
curve?
A. 70%
B. 75%
C. 80%
D. 85%

Solution:
Cumulative Average Time Total time (in hours)
(CAT)
Unit/ Batches = Units *(CAT hours)

As % of the Hours
1st Unit/Batch
1 100% 10.4 10.4 hours (1*10.4)

2 85% 8.8 17.6 (2* 8.8)

Computation:

2nd unit time

x 100=Learning Curve
1 st unit time
 8.8
x 100=84.6∨85 %
10.4
C 2. A manager wants to analyze the learning curve associated with producing one of
his company’s products. Accordingly, he has gathered the following data:
A. 5 hours
B. 6 hours
C. 6.25 hours
D. 6.33 hours
E. 6.5 hours

Solution:
Cumulative Average Time Total time (in hours)
(CAT)
Unit/ Batches = Units *(CAT hours)
As % of the Hours
1st Unit/Batch
1st 100% 6.25 hrs. 6.25 hrs.

2nd 80% 5 hrs. 10 hrs.

4th 64% 4 hrs. 16 hrs.

Computation:

B 3. A job has an 80 percent learning curve. If the first unit took 40 hours to
complete, the fourth unit should take roughly how many hours?
A. 20
B. 25
C. 31
D. 35
E. 40
Cumulative Average Time (CAT) Total time (in hours)
Unit/ Batches = Units *(CAT hours)
As % of the Hours
1st Unit/Batch

1 100% 40 40 hours (1*40)

2 80% 32 (40*.80) 64 (2* 32)

4 64% (80* .80) 25.6 (32*.80) 102.4 (4* 25.6 )

Computation:
 1st unit hours x 2nd unit ¿ 2nd unit hours
40 x .80 ¿ 32 units
 2nd unit x 80 percent learning curve ¿ 4th unit
80 x .80 ¿ 64%
 2nd unit hours x 80 percent learning curve ¿ 4th unit hours
32 x .80 ¿ 25.6 hours
