How many hours for writing assembler code

I develope allway complete units that means designe incl. housing (moulding form), PCB-layout etc. Therefore I write only a part of the time source code in assembler and I am not a "fast" software writer. So I have allways discussions with my clients about the hours I invoice.
Therefore I would like to know how many good documented and testet software code a good software engineer could write in assembler with optimization for short code.
e.g.
xx lines of source code / hour
yy kbyte of machine code / hour
 
I wonder what figures you could carry together!
regards
Truk

Your question is confusing.
 
Are you asking how many average lines of code you can write per hour?
 
Personally, I spend as much time debugging, modifying and perfecting the code than I do writing "lines of code".

Hi uCTechnoGeek ,
I meen final code, that means at time the project ist finalised.
Take all the time you need for writing debugging, modifying, optimizing by time or code...... and devide it by  the lines in the final version or the machine code.

HI:

The best numbers are the ones you collect from your own experience.

From my experience in C programming (not assembly) I can let you know that my numbers are in the 15-20 lines per hour.

I guess assembly might take longer to write/debug than C.

Regards,

Alex
