    The following statements have been made about learning curves.

    (1) Learning curves are easier to apply in companies with a high labour turnover than those with a lower
    rate of staff turnover.

    (2) Learning rates are not affected by time gaps between the production of additional units of a product.

    Which of the above statements is/are true?

    A 1 only
    B 2 only
    C Neither 1 nor 2
    D Both 1 and 2

    From my understanding, learning curves are easier to apply to low turnover rate of employees, as, if we maintain the same employees the we could maintain or even increase the learning rate.

    For option 2, time gaps does affect learning rate.

    My answer is C, neither is right but BPP says it’s D, both are correct. Please help me to clarify this John. Thanks ahead!

    If you read BPP’s explanation to the answer D, you will realise that something has gone wrong and it is an answer to a completely different question!! 🙂

    The correct answers is indeed C.

    Hahaha, i realized that too. Thanks alot John! Another thing is, would it be okay to use BPP’s Revision Kit for paper based exam? As some of the parts are CBE style question.

    Yes – the revision kit is fine for both paper based and CBE (all of the approved publishers have just the one book for both types of exam).
