Question

Aggy Technologies is starting production of a new supercomputer for use in large research universities. It has just completed the first unit, which took 100 labor hours to produce. Based on its experience, it estimates its learning percentage to be 83 percent. How many labor hours should it expect in manufacturing the second unit

Answer 1

Answer:

83 hours

Explanation:

Labour hours is defined as the number of hours worked by employees that they receive wages for. It can also mean the number of hours it takes to finish a job.

In the given scenario the labour hours was 100 hours to produce the new super computer.

When manufacturing a second unit, there needs to be consideration of the learning percentage.

A learning percentage of 100% implies the same time will be taken to manufacture.

Time to produce second unit = 100 hours * 0.83 = 83 hours
