    Please do not just set test questions – you must have an answer in whichever book you found the question.
    In future ask about which part of the answer is giving you a problem 🙂

    Each employee is paid 38 hours at $6 = $228, plus overtime of 4 hours at 1.5 x $6 = $24.
    So a total of $252.

    There are 24 employees, so a total of 24 x $252 = $6,048

    2500 units are produced, so the cost per unit = 6048/2500 = $2.42
