    There is this question in BPP which I cannot understand
    Jaffa Co employs two types of labour: skilled workers(direct labour) and semi skilled workers(indirect labour). Skilled labours are paid $ 10 per hour and semi skilled are paid $ 5 per hour.

    Skilled labour works 20 hours overtime, 12 on specific order and 8 on general
    Overtme is paid at time and quarter.
    Semi skilled worked 30 hours overtime, 20 hours for a specific order at a customer’s request and the rest for general purposes . Overtime is paid at time quarter

    On the answer i understood that 20 hour overtime is direct cost because he worked on SPECIFIC order.

    But why we consider GENERAL overtime hour as a direct cost.

    Please help me to understand this point. Thank you

    Have you watched my free lectures on this, because I do explain which costs are regarded as direct and which are regarded as indirect.

    I watched many times and i got everything. Please help me about this question.
    I though only specific overtime cost will be direct.

    The question says that the semi-skilled workers are indirect labour, and therefore all of their pay is an indirect cost.
