Ima neworker requires 30 minutes to produce her first unit of output. if her learning curve rte is 65%, how many units will be produced before the output rate exceeds 12 units per hour?

Approximately 18 units will be produced before the output rate exceeds 12 units per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

The learning curve formula is given by:

In which:

Y is the average time per unit.

X is the cumulative number of units produced.

a is the time required to produe the first unit

b = log of learning rate/log 2

In our problem, we have:

Y = 12 units per hour. We are working in minutes, what is the average time per unit?

60 minutes - 12 units

Y minutes - 1 unit

So Y = 5.

X is the value we want to find

a = 30

b =

So

Approximately 18 units will be produced before the output rate exceeds 12 units per hour.
