    A company has a budget for 2 products A and B as follows:

    sales units : (product A:2000) (product B: 4500)
    production units: (product A: 1750) (product B: 5000)

    Labour:
    skilled at $10/hour: (product A: 2hours/unit) (product B: 2hours/unit)
    unskilled at $7/hour: (product A: 2hours/unit) ( product B: 4 hours/unit)

    What is the budgeted cost for unskilled labour for the period?
    A. $105000
    B. $135000
    C. $160500
    D.$252500

    the correct answer is C

    However i have got $164500, I have 1750 units x 2 hours= 3500 hours for product A and 5000 x 4 hours= 20000 hours for product B. Then 3500+20000=23000 hours x $7= $164500

    I would be grateful if you, sir, could help me and tell me my mistake.

    The answer is indeed $164,500 !!

    In which book did you find this question, because unless you have copied it incorrectly there is a typing mistake in the choice of answers.
    Does the book not show workings with their answers?
