    A company manufactures a single product M. Budgeted production output is 200 units. Each unit of M requires labour hours for completion and the company anticipates 20 per cent idle time. Labour is paid at a rate of $7 per hour. What is the direct labour cost budget?

    Solution
    200 x 6= 1200
    1200/0.8 = 1500
    1500 x 7 = 10500

    Is it correct Sir? I did it right ? Sorry for bothering you, I know it’s an easy one! I got a test & I don’t have the answer. Thank you.

    I think you missed out part of the question 🙂

    Assuming that each unit requires 6 hours of labour for completion, then your answer is correct.
