Gale Technologies is proposing to build a new component for sale to a private space exploration company. Engineers at the company expect a learning rate of 85 percent. The first unit is expected to take 200 labor hours. Labor at Gale is paid $67 per hour. The 85 percent learning rate coefficient is -0.23447(rounded); that is b=-0.23447 in the formula Y=axb.Required:Using the formula, Y-axb, compute the labor time and costs for the first eight units with the expected learning rate, hours for the first unit, and the hourly labor cost.Note: Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round Time to Build Unit X and Cumulative Time to 3 decimal places. Round Total Cost and Average Cost to 2 decimal places.Answer is complete but not entirely correct.\table[[Unit (X),Time to Build Unit X,Cumulative Time,Total Cost,Average Cost],[1,200.000(),200.000,$ 13,400.00,$ 13,400.00(6)],[2,169.999(),369.999,24,789968,12,394.986],[3,154.5820,524.5820,35.146.978,11,71565(6)],[4,1444590,669.081(),44,828,408,11,207.10],[5,137.1336,806.2140,54,016.338,10,803.27],[6,131.394%,937.608,62,819.758,10,469.95],[7,126.730 O,1,064.338,71,310.678,10,187,24],[8,122.8240,1,187.162,79,539.668,9,942.43]]Rrev10 of 10NextSearchFix all the cells with red x
