It cost a contractor $13,750 to manufacture their first unit. the company expects to experience a 93% unit learning curve. estimate the cost of the 14th unit. (round intermediate calculations to 4 decimal places)

$275

Step-by-step explanation:

Price of first unit = $ 13,750

Unit Learning curve = 93%

T find the cost of 14th unit

Unit learning curve = 93%

So decrease in price in every  unit = 7 %

Decrease in Price of one unit = 7 % of $13750

                                                 =

                                                 =$ 962.5

Price after one unit = 13750 - 962.5 = $ 12787.5

Decrease in price of 14 units = 14* 962.5

                                                =$13475

Estimated price of 14th unit = $ 13750 - $13475

                                             = $275

1,407.5 hours

step-by-step explanation:

we first convert all the time to hours and then sum them up.

there are 24 hours in 1 day, in 58 days, there are 24 x 58 = 1,392 hours.

there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, thus, 30 minutes will be equivalent to 30 / 60 = 0.5 hours.

therefore, the number of hours it will take mercury to complete a full rotation is 1,392 + 15 + 0.5 = 1,407.5 hours
