A learning curve illustrates that increasing the number of cumulative units produced ________ the labor required per unit.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

A learning curve is a graphical representation of the relationship between the cumulative number of units produced and the average direct labor hours required to produce each unit. As the number of units produced increases, workers become more familiar and efficient with the tasks involved in production. This leads to a decrease in the amount of time and effort needed to produce each unit, resulting in a lower labor required per unit. Therefore, the correct answer is C - decreases.
