When computing the time required for the production of each additional unit with a learning curve, one would
A) multiply the time to produce the immediately preceding unit by the learning curve percentage.
B) divide the time of the immediately preceding unit by the learning curve percentage.
C) multiply the time to produce one unit by the cumulative number of units at this point by the learning rate [ln learning rate %/ ln 2]
D) divide the time of the immediately preceding unit by the one minus the learning curve percentage.

The learning curve effect suggests that each time production doubles, the time required per unit decreases by a constant percentage. Therefore, to find the time for the next unit, you multiply the time for the previous unit by the learning curve percentage.
