Labour cost

SShanda11y ago
Budgeted production next month is 8200 units. Each unit requires 6 labour hours to make. Labour is paid $15 per hour, and idle time represents 10% of the total time paid. what is the total budgeted labour cost for next month? Please show me the calculation for this question.

The working time needed is 6 x 8200 = 49200. Since 10% of time paid is idle, only 90% of time paid is worked. So the hours paid will be 49200 / 90% = 54667 hours If you cost out at $15 per hour you get $$820,000
