Question: Your boss is the project manager for a large contract assembly plant. A new customer has come to you with a product they want 30

Your boss is the project manager for a large contract assembly plant. A new customer has come to you with a product they want 30 units of assembled. The customer estimates that the time to assemble a unit is about 17 hours to assemble each one and is willing to pay you at that rate. She accepts the terms and offers you the project. You want to impress the boss, but you dont want to take the project if it will lose money and make you look bad. She tells you that the first unit took 40 hours and the second one took 30 hours. c) After you have finished the project, the company comes back and asks for 20 more units. How long do believe the first unit of the new order would take to produce? The 20th? How many labour hours would be required for the second order? What is the labour time per unit? d) Suppose your company can supply 504.5 labour hours per month to this product. What is your capacity to produce this product (i.e. how many can you produce in the first month)?
