PM*** F5 December 2013 Exam was.. Post your comments ***
On learning curve, month one there was 1 batch, month two, 1 batch again, month three, 2 batches month four. 4 batches and month five 8 batches.
Using the learning curve fomula 1st month and 2 month of same output got the same cost of labour because output did not double. I went on further to calculate the difference in cost of labour for the 3rd nd 4th output which I used on the 5th month of 8 batches since learning was ending on the 4th month.
Don't know if I got it correct
In Question 3 the answer for the "a" is:
time per month cost per month
July 200,00 $2.400,00
August 152,00 $1.824,00
September 267,52 $3.210,24
October 470,84 $5.650,02
November 900,08 $10.800,96
Totals 1.990,44 $23.885,22
Am i right?
That's the same as my answer. But I didn't total it up, the question only ask for monthy labour cost right?
Out put for 2nd month is double (you have to based on the cummulated output). Month is is 1 batch, month 2 is 1 batch, it means the cumulative out put is doubled, which is 2 batch. The time for month 1 is 200 hours. month 2 is 152 hours. Similar calculation for month 3 and 4. For the last month you just calculate the time taken to produce the 8th batch, which is abt $112. Then you will get the answer.
