The learning curve formula is used to calculate the time taken for cumulative production. For a 70% learning curve, the time for the nth unit is Tn = T1 * n^b, where b = log(learning rate)/log(2). Calculate cumulative time for 50 units and subtract cumulative time for 25 units to find time for units 26-50.
