• The demand curve is flatter (more horizontal) the closer the substitutes for the product and the less diminishing marginal utility is at work for the buyers. • The dependent variable in demand analysis is the quantity (the number of units) sold. The independent variables are price‚ income of buyers‚ the price of substitutes‚ and the price of complements. • An increase in income shifts the demand curve to the right for normal good. It goes to the left for an inferior good. • An increase in the

Learning Curve Analysis EATABLES A Learning Curve is an industrial tool or formula for the expected reduction of unit costs for large quantity production of components. Learning curves draw from historic building experience to determine expected reductions in labor and materials costs. Expected reductions can be gauged from the labor and materials content of the manufactured item‚ plus the number of doublings of the initial production run. Estimators will apply learning curves under guidance
