Week number Beginning Cash Del Units Cumulative Units Cumulative Average hrs Cumulative Labor Hours Labor Cost Material Cost Cash Received Cash balance

K65=260.76 hours reduction is less than 0.5%

Check the weeks during which cash shortages occur these need to be covered by loans wherever learning curves do not provide data for given numbers approximate
