Question 1: There is not enough information in the question (we need to be told how many workers there were at the end of the year)

Question 2: Hours needed for production = 5 x 4800 = 24000 SInce 20% of hours paid are idle, it means paying for 24,000 x 100/80 = 30,000 hours Cost if $10 per hour, so total of $300,000

Question 3 Standard hours are budgeted hours per unit.
