Will has just started a small company making special cakes for retirement parties. He just received a large order of five cakes from a local business. Will expects substantial productivity improvements in his work as he moves from the first cake in this order to the fifth cake. His current cost of making a cake is c (1) = 40 and he expects a learning rate of LR = 0.85. What will be his cost for all five cakes combined?

    The solution for the cost for all five cakes combined is done below:

    Explanation:

    We start by looking up the cumulative learning curve coefficient in Table 6.4 for an output of 5 and a learning rate of LR = 0.85. We get:

    CLCC (5,0.85) = 4.031086

    We then compute the costs of making 5 units as:

    CC (of making 5 units, LR = 0.85, c (1) = 40) = 40 * CLCC (5,0.85) = 40 * 4.031086 = 161.2434.

    The cost for all five cakes is $161.24

    Explanation:

    aX^b

    a = cost

    X = number of cakes

    b = log (rate) / log 2 = - 0.2344652536

    lets take the fifth cake 40 + (5) ^-0.234465236 = 27.43

    27.43

    28.9

    30.91

    34

    40

    161.24
