If labor costs are 60 percent of production costs, then a 15 percent increase in wage rates would increase production costs by <u>9 percent.</u>

<h3>What are labor costs?</h3>
  • The total of all employee wages, employee benefits, and payroll taxes paid by an employer constitutes the labor costs. Direct and indirect (overhead) labor costs are separated.
  • While indirect costs are related to labor costs, such as personnel who maintain industrial equipment, direct costs include wages for the employees who make a product, including those on an assembly line.
  • While indirect costs are related to support labor, such as personnel who maintain industrial equipment, direct costs include wages for the employees who make a product, including those on an assembly line.
  • The price of goods or services may fluctuate away from their genuine cost if labor costs are poorly allocated or evaluated, which could hurt earnings.

annual sinking fund payments of $2,570,000 in each of the years 2022 through 2026.

2021                   $0

2022              $2,570,000

2023              $4,940,000                       = $2,570,000 + $2,370,000

2024              $8,150,000                        = $,2,570,000 + $5,580,000

2025              $2,570,000

2026              $2,570,000

Long term debt is debt that must be paid in a period of time longer than one year. Debts that are due in less than one year are classified as current debts or liabilities. That is why there is no long term debt for 2021 (current year).
