Condor Airplane Company has built a new model jet aircraft which it intends to sell to high net worth clients.This aircraft required 25,000 hours to complete.Condor believes an incremental unit-time learning model with an 82% learning curve best reflects the company's production efficiency.Condor just received a contract to make seven identical aircraft.What will be the expected unit time for the eighth aircraft? A)20,500.00. B)16,810.00. C)13,784.20. D)11,303.04. T x Lⁿ = time required for the nth time the task is done.T = 25,000 hours;L = 82%;n = # of times the task is doubled = 3.25,000 x 0.82³ = 13,784.20

Using the incremental unit-time learning model formula, we can calculate the expected unit time for the eighth aircraft as: T x Lⁿ = time required for the nth time the task is done. T = 25,000 hours; L = 82%; n = # of times the task is doubled = 3. 25,000 x 0.82^3 = 13,784.20 Therefore, the expected unit time for the eighth aircraft is 13,784.20 hours, which corresponds to choice C.
