Problem 3 (15 Points) Assume that you must estimate the completion time for a task that will be completed 40 times. You perform three trials of the task; the first cycle time is 80.00 minutes, and the third cycle time is 61.83 minutes. The labor cost for performing this task is $125 per hour. a) Determine the learning curve rate. Show your work. b) Estimate the completion time for forty cycles. Instead of calculating the time for each of the forty cycles, you may use the learning curve table provided below to obtain the multiplier, based on the learning curve rate you determined. c) Determine the difference in cost estimates when using (t]140) versus using the learning curve method.
