This objective test question contains a question type which will only appear in a computer-based exam, but this question provides valuable practice for all students whichever version of the exam they are taking.
The time for the first unit produced was 100 hours. The time for the second unit was 90 hours.
What is the learning rate?

The time for the first batch of 50 units was 500 hours. The total time for the first 16 batches of 50 units was 5,731 hours.

The time for the first batch of 50 units was 400 hours but the labour budget is the subject of a learning effect where the learning rate is 90%. The rate of pay for labour is $12 per hour.
The business had received and satisfied an order for 600 units but it has now received a second order for another 800 units.
The value of b is = –0.152
What will be the cost of this second order? (no decimals please)

The times taken to produce each of the first four batches of a new product were as follows:
Batch number Time taken
1 100 minutes
2 70 minutes
3 59 minutes
4 55 minutes
What was the rate of learning closest to? (1 d.p)
A department in a large organisation wishes to develop a method of predicting its total costs in a period.
The following data have been recorded.
The total cost model for a period could be represented by what equation?
Bortamord anticipates that a 90% learning curve will apply to the production of a new item. The first item will cost $2,000 in materials, and will take 500 labour hours. The cost per hour for labour and variable overhead is $5.
You are required to calculate the total cost for the first unit and for the first eight units.
BL is planning to manufacture a new product, product A. Development tests suggest that 60% of the variable manufacturing cost of product A will be affected by a learning and experience curve. This learning effect will apply to each unit produced and continue at a constant rate of learning until cumulative production reaches 4,000 units, when learning will stop. The unit variable manufacturing cost of the first unit is estimated to be $1,200 (of which 60% will be subject to the effect of learning), while the average unit variable manufacturing cost of four units will be $405.
Required
Calculate the rate of learning that is expected to apply.
XX is aware that there is a learning effect for the production of one of its new products, but is unsure about the degree of learning. The following data relate to this product.
Time taken to produce the first unit 28 direct labour hours
Production to date 15 units
Cumulative time taken to date 104 direct labour hours
What is the percentage learning effect?
The costs of production runs consist of a mix of fixed and variable elements. The lowest number of production runs during the year was 120 during February, the highest number 150 during October. If the total costs of production runs in February were $80,000 and in October were $95,000, calculate the fixed and variable cost elements.
List five limitations of learning curve theory.
