EXERCISES
4.1 Your firm designs PowerPoint slides for computer training classes, and you have just received a request to bid on a special project to produce the slides for an 8-session class. From previous experience, you know that your firm follows an 85 percent learning rate. For this contract, it appears that the effort will be substantial, running 50 hours for the first session. Your firm bills at a rate of $100? hour and the overhead is expected to run a fixed $600 per session. The customer will pay you a flat fixed rate per session. If your nominal profit margin is 20 percent, what will be the total bid price, the per session price, and at what session will you break even?
4.2 If unit 1 requires 200 hours to produce and the labor records for an Air Force project contract of 50 units indicates an average labor content of 63.1 hours per unit, what was the learning rate? What total additional number of labor hours would be required for a follow-on Air Force contract of 50 units? What would be the average labor content of this second contract? Of both contracts combined? If labor costs the vendor $10/hour on this second contract and the price to the Air Force is fixed at $550 each, what can you say about the profitability of the first and second contracts, and hence the bidding process in general?
