Beth Zion Hospital has received initial certification from the state of California to become a center for liver transplants. The hospital, however, must complete its first 10 transplants under great scrutiny and at no cost to the patients with the hospital picking the expenses. The cost per hour of surgery is estimated to be $5,000. The very first transplant, just completed, required 30 hours. On the basis of research at the hospital, Beth Zion estimates that it will have an 85% learning curve. Using Table E.3, estimate the time it will take to complete: a) the 10th transplant hours (round your response to two decimal places). 75% 80% 85% Unit Number (N) 10 Unit Time Total Time Unit Time Total Time Unit Time Total Time .385 5.589 .477 6.315 .583 7.116 For the given learning rate, the learning curve coefficient for 10th unit = 0.305 the 10th transplant 7.33 hours (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place) The cost of 10th surgery to Beth Zion Hospital = 43980.00 (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place) For the given learning rate, the cumulative learning curve coefficient for 10th unit = 4.929 the first 10 transplants 118.30 hours (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place) The cost of all 10 surgery to Beth Zion Hospital = (response should be rounded to the nearest 2nd decimal place)
