Answer:
$1,901,385
Explanation:
First unit produced by lambda took 5,000 hours to produce and required $30,000 worth of materials and equipment usage.
The second unit took 4,500 hours and used $24,000 worth of materials and equipment usage.
learning rate = time needed to produce second unit / time needed to produce first unit = 4,500 hours / 5,000 hours = 90%
materials and equipment usage rate = $24,000 / $30,000 = 80%
using the attached table of cumulative values, we can determine the cumulative improvement factors needed to solve this question:
Olsan's accumulated cost for producing 20 more guidance controls
- work hours = 4,500 x 14.61 (90% and 20 units) x $25 per hour = $1,643,625
- materials and equipment = $24,000 x 10.74 (95% and 20 units) = $257,760
- total = $1,901,385
