    (a) 72

    (b) 57.6

    (c) 46.08

    Explanation:

    Given that,

    Units produced = 1

    Marginal Labor Time = 112.50

    Units produced = 2

    Marginal Labor Time = 90.00

    First, we need to calculate the learning rate.

    Learning Rate:

    = (Marginal labor time for producing 2 units : Marginal labor time for producing 1 units) * 100

    = (90 : 112.50) * 100

    = 80%

    At production level of 1 unit:

    Marginal Labor time = 112.5

    At production level of 2 units:

    Marginal Labor time:

    = Marginal Labor time at 1 unit * Learning rate

    = 112.5 * 80%

    = 90

    (a) At production level of 4 units:

    Marginal Labor time:

    = Marginal Labor time at 2 units * Learning rate

    = 90 * 80%

    = 72

    (b) At production level of 8 units:

    Marginal Labor time:

    = Marginal Labor time at 4 units * Learning rate

    = 72 * 80%

    = 57.6

    (c) At production level of 16 units:

    Marginal Labor time:

    = Marginal Labor time at 8 units * Learning rate

    = 57.6 * 80%

    = 46.08
