C) fixed cost changes proportionally with the level of activity

D) the cost remains the same over wide ranges of the activity in each relevant range

B) is often approximated with a continuous variable-cost function

C) remains the same over a wide range of activity

D) example includes adding additional warehouse space

 

5) A learning curve is a function ________.

B) that increases at a greater rate as workers become more familiar with their tasks

C) where unit costs increase as productivity increases

D) that is linear

 

6) An experience curve ________.

A) is a narrower application of the learning curve

C) only measures the decline in labor-hours per unit as units produced increases

D) measures the increase in cost per unit as productivity increases

7) To complete the first setup on a new machine took an employee 300 minutes. Using an 85% cumulative average-time learning curve indicates that the second setup on the new machine is expected to take ________.

A) 80 minutes

B) 120 minutes

C) 70 minutes

D) 60 minutes

 

9) As a result of learning curve, ________.

B) unit costs decrease as productivity increases and the unit-cost function behaves nonlinearly

C) unit costs increase as productivity increases and the unit-cost function behaves linearly

D) unit costs decrease as productivity increases and the unit-cost function behaves linearly

 

10) The learning-curve models presented in the text examine ________.

A) how quality increases over time

B) how efficiency increases as more units are produced

C) how setup costs decline as more workers are added

D) the change in variable costs when quantity discounts are available
