sir, if the questions asks what would result in an increase in total cost for labour
options
additional labour employed
a department which is at full capacity switching from one production of one product to another
the answer in the books is that only statement 1 is correct
but sir if we switch to production of an item which takes a longer time to produce , meaning more hours than labour will be automatically paid more because of the extra hours?
