The improvement rate indicates how much faster production becomes with each additional unit. A 10% improvement rate means each unit takes 90% of the time of the previous one, while a 15% improvement rate means each unit takes 85% of the time of the previous one. Calculating the time for the 10th unit for both products and comparing them shows that product A takes approximately 21% more time than product B.
