Assume a learning curve of 88 and use the cost of the50th


You have been asked to estimate the cost of 100 prefabricated structures to be sold to alocal school district. Each structure provides 1000 square feet of floor space, with 8-feet ceilings.In 1999, you produced 70 similar structures consisting of the same materials and having the sameceiling height, but each provided only 800 square feet of floor space. The material cost for eachstructure was $25000 in 1999, and the cost capacity factor is 0.65. The cost index values for 1999and 2005 are 200 and 289, respectively. The estimated manufacturing cost for the first1000-square-foot structure is $12000. Assume a learning curve of 88% and use the cost of the50th structure as your standard time for estimating manufacturing cost. Estimate the total material cost and the total manufacturing cost for the 100 prefabricated structures. (3.3,3.4)
