    210 hours

    Explanation:

    The learning curve rate can be found by log75%

    Ln0.75 = 0.12249

    1 batch requires 200 hours

    The 1500 units batch will require 200 hours

    For 3000 units there will be two batches of 1500 units each

    200 hours * 2 batches * 0.12249 * 4.5 = 210 hours
