Multiple Choice budgeting flexible manufacturing pricing new products operations management negotiated purchasingarrow_forwardA contractor intends to bid on a job installing 30 airport security systems. Because this will be a new line of work for the contractor, he believes there will be a learning effect for the job. After reviewing time records from a similar type of activity, the contractor is convinced that an 85 percent curve is appropriate. He estimates that the first job will take his crew eight days to install. Use the following table for calculation.

- The Learning curve theory is based on which three assumptions and explains?arrow_forwardOnly typed explanation otherwise leave it United Research Associates (URA) had received a contract to produce two units of a new cruise missile guidance control. The first unit took 5,000 hours to complete and cost $30,000 in materials and equipment usage. The second took 3,750 hours and cost $19,500 in materials and equipment usage. Labor cost is charged at $25 per hour. The company expects “learning” to occur relative to labor and also the pricing of parts from suppliers. The prime contractor has now approached URA and asked to submit a bid for the cost of producing another 20 guidance controls. a. What will the last unit cost to build? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.) b. What will be the average time for the 20 missile guidance controls? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.) c. What will the average cost be for guidance control for the 20 in the contract? (Round your answer to the nearest dollar amount.)arrow_forward
