Question
One of the techniques used to estimate the C-27J was an analogy to the C-17. Both are transport aircraft which carry personnel and cargo. The empty weight of the C-27J is 39,500 pounds and the C-17 is 274,000 pounds. Since the C-17 weighs 6.94 times as much as the C-27J, the C-17 cost was divided by 6.94 to arrive at an estimate of the C-27J cost. Given this information, select the best statement below.Given the difference in scale, we should question the use of the factor.
If empty weight is a commonly used cost driver, then this should be a good analogy.
Further analysis is required since an analogy requires the use of several similar items.
Since the aircraft are similar in form, fit and function this should be a good analogy.
Explanation / Answer
The answer is not Further Analysis is required...
