    Assuming that there was nothing else said in the question, then yes – you should add the total labour cost to the total factory costs.

    (The question is actually badly worded (assuming again that you have typed the whole question) – it should really make it more clear as to whether the factory costs already include the labour or not. I hope it is not one of our questions 🙁 )
