Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

$15,000 for factory managers

$18,000 for financial managers

$42,000 for company executives.

$98,000 for factory workers

$64,000 for office workers.

To calculate the labor cost we need to separate between indirect and direct labor:

Indirect labor:

Factory managers (manufactury overhead)= 15,000

Direct labor:

Factory workers= 98,000

Total labor cost= $113,000
