Computes the natural slope based on total time (cost) to produce the first n units, time (cost) required for the first unit and total units produced.

natural_slope_est(T, t, n)

Arguments

T
total time (or cost) required to produce the first n units
t
time (or cost) required to produce the first unit
n
total n units produced

Examples

# Estimate the natural slope for 250 units when the time for unit # one took 80 hours and the total time for all 250 units took # 8,250 hours. natural_slope_est(T = 8250, t = 80, n = 250)
