    A company had 80 direct production workers at the beginning of last year and 60 direct production workers
    at the end of last year. During the year a total of 45 employees had left the company.
    The labour turnover rate for last year was:
    A 21.4%
    B 35.7%
    C 64.3%
    D 75.0%

    Budgeted and actual production data for the year that has just ended are as follows.
    Product Budgeted production Actual production
    Units Standard machine hours Units
    W 15,000 3,000 12,000
    X 20,000 8,000 25,000
    Y 14,000 7,000 16,000
    Z 6,000 9,000 5,000
    Total machine hours worked in the period amounted to 29,000 hours.

    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.
