Aerosub Inc. has developed a new product for spacecraft that includes the manufacturing

of a complex part. The manufacturing of this part requires a high degree of technical

skill. Management believes there is a good opportunity for its technical force to learn and

improve as they become accustomed to the production process. The production of the

first unit requires 10,000 direct labor hours. If an 80% learning curve is used and eight

units are produced, the cumulative average direct labor hours required per unit of the

product will be

a. 5,120 hours.

b. 6,400 hours.

c. 8,000 hours.

d. 10,000 hours.
