Sharon Glessing, controller for Janson Company, has noticed that the company faces a 80 percent learning rate for its specialty design line. In planning the cost of the latest design, Sharon assumed that the first set of units would take 1,200 direct labor hours. She decided to use this information in budgeting for the cost of the total project, which would involve the manufacture of 16 sets. Direct labor is paid $40 per hour. Required: 1. Complete the table below showing results by row for total production of: one unit, two units, four units, eight units, and sixteen units. (Round hour answers to two significant digits.) (Round Cumulative Total Time answers to the nearest whole number.) Cumulative Number Cumulative Average Time Cumulative Total Time of Units 1 2 4 8 16 per Unit in Hours Labor Hours 2. What is the total labor cost if Janson Company makes eight sets? Sixteen sets? (Use the rounded answers in the subsequent computations). Total labor cost for eight sets Total labor cost for sixteen sets 3. Using the logarithmic function, complete the table below showing results by row for each of unit sets one through eight. (Round hour answers to two significant digits.) (Round Cumulative Total Time and Time for Last Unit answers to the nearest whole number.) Cumulative Number Cumulative Average Time Cumulative Total Time: of Units per Unit in Hours Labor Hours Time for Last Unit 1 7 8 23 456500 What is the direct labor cost for the eighth set?
