    To get the lifecycle cost per unit we need to total all the costs over the life of the product and divide my the total number of units we expect to produce over the life of the product.
    (My lecture on life-cycle costing might help you understand)

    The relevance of the learning curve is that one of the costs will be labour. As more units are produced, the time taken per unit will reduce. It was therefore necessary in this question to use learning curve theory to estimate the total labour time (and hence the total labour cost).
