Learning Curve Theory is concerned with the idea that when a new job‚ process or activity commences for the first time it is likely that the workforce involved will not achieve maximum efficiency immediately. Repetition of the task is likely to make the people more confident and knowledgeable and will eventually result in a more efficient and rapid operation. Eventually the learning process will stop after continually repeating the job. As a consequence the time to complete a task will initially

This is the ideal situation to a profit seeking company. Since price is greater than the Average Total Cost (ATC)‚ for each unit sold the profit per unit is simply the
