Answer:
Answer is explained in the explanation section below.
Explanation:
To figure out the total bidding price, we must first figure out the total cost of all eight sessions.
To calculate the total expense, we must first determine the total number of hours required for each of the eight sessions.
Now that we know the learning rate is 85% and the first session took 50 hours, we can look up the coefficient of 8 under 85% in the learning curve table E3 and calculate it by the time spent on the first session. The average time taken for 8 sessions with an 85 percent learning curve would be the result.
Total time taken for 8 sessions = 50 x 5.936 (coefficient of 8 under 85% learning rate) = 296.8 = 297 hrs
Fixed cost = 600 x 8 = $4800
Variable cost = 100 x 297 = $29700
Total Cost = 29700 + 4800 = $34500
Total bid price = 34500 x 1.2 = $41400 (adding 20% profit margin on cost)
Price per session = 41400 / 8 = $5175
Break Even Session = 34500 / 5175
Break Even Session = 6.67
Hence, the total cost will be covered by the 7th session.
