    Sir, I got two problems here.
    One is: Some statements have been made about learning curve. First is that learning curve are easier to apply in companies with a high labor turnover. The second is that learning rates are not affected by time gaps between the production of additional units of a product. Are they right or wrong?

    Second is : In the BPP question there are some variance calculation, and above the blank, it says use minus sign to denote adverse variance. Does that mean we can just write ‘-25′ to represent ’25 A’?

    Many thanks and writing for you reply. 🙂

    1. They are both wrong. If there is a high labour turnover, or if there are time gaps, then the learning will have to start again.

    2. If it is in Section C then you should use A to signify that it is adverse. If it is in Sections A or B then it will be made clear in the question how it is wanted for you to show it.
