York Innovation Researchers (YIR) researched and develops quick chilling equipment. This equipment can chill the cold drinks very quickly. Kola Company gave first order to supply 25 units. YIR produced and supplied these 25 units to Kola Company. Three factors involved, technical labor hours, production labor hours and cost of material. The first unit produced by YIR took 158 technical labor hours, 74 production labor hours and material cost was $11600. They determined learning rate of 75% in technical labor hours, 70% in production labor hours and 90% in material cost. YIR pay $26 per hour to their technical labors and $21 per hour to their production labors. Kola Company placed another order for 65 units immediately after receiving the first order.
