Sir, I am confused about a number in bpp.
A company manufactures a single product, M. Budgeted production output of product M during August is 200 units. Each unit of product M requires 6 labour hours for completion and PR Co anticipates 20 per cent idle time. Labour is paid at a rate of 7% per hour. What is the the direct labour cost budget for August?
A) $6720
B) $8400
C) $10080
D) $10500
Answer
Active hrs required for pdtn (200*6 hrs) =1200
Allowance for idle time( 20%=25%). = 300
————

*$7 per hour.
Direct lbr cost budget. $10500
