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.
Ask the Tutor ACCA MA
Labour cost
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
thank you very much.
You are welcome :-)
