Learning Curve Primer The concept of a Learning Curve is motivated by the observation (in many diverse production environments) that‚ each time the cumulative production doubles‚ the hours required to produce the most recent unit decreases by approximately the same percentage. For example‚ for an 80% learning curve: If cumulative production doubles from 50 to 100‚ then the hours required to produce the 100th unit is 80% of that for the 50th unit. The learning curve formula can be expressed

Bombay The long-run cost curve (LTC) is composed of a series of short-run cost curves. Assumes that the firm has only one plant‚ with the corresponding short-run cost curve given by STC1‚ Suppose the firm decides to add two more plants with associated two more short-run cost curves given by STC2 and STC3. Prof. Trupti Mishra‚ School of Management‚ IIT Bombay The long-run total cost curve (LTC) is then drawn through the minimum of the short-run cost curves‚ STC1‚STC2‚ and STC3. The

We already know that following are the important cost concepts related to the production process of a firm: • Fixed Cost • Varibale Cost • Average Cost • Marginal Cost please refer to following page Introduction to Cost Concepts to understand various cost concepts in detail. Here we will briefly state again the meaning of above stated cost concepts for better understanding of the module on short run cost analysis. Fixed Cost is that cost which does not change (that is either goes up or

S-curve describes how the performance or cost characteristics of a technology change with time and continued investments. While the horizontal axis shows the history (time and investment) of technical innovations‚ the vertical axis shows some problems of product performance or cost competitiveness. The pace of improvement slows when the established technology is improved and approaching its maturity. Many problems which a new technology has to face with are solved over time and with investment

I. Introduction The Percent Yield lab is designed to further the students’ understanding of percent yield by having them predict how much material will be produced from a reaction; specifically a double replacement reaction. In order to perform the lab‚ a solid understanding of percent yield is necessary. According to Prentice Hall Chemistry book‚ percent yield is comprised of two main components. The first is the theoretical yield. The theoretical yield is what is calculated and predicted. It is
