Hi, Sir. How they calculated variable cost for 2nd and 3rd batches? And also in general i find this question very difficult. Hope i will not get this hard questions on wednesday!:(

The learning rate (using the doubling rule backwards) = sq root of (52.71 - 30)/30) = 0.87 or 87% Therefore the variable cost for the second batch = (0.87 x 30) + 30 = 56.1 The total cost for 3 batches is 3 times the average cost per batch for three batches, which you get using the formula. I do suggest that you watch my free lectures on learning curves - I really cannot type them all out here :-)
