Answer 1

Answer:

Total direct labor costs= $295,680

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each Pod requires 1.4 hours of labor at a labor rate of $9.60 per hour.

Production= 22,000 Pods.

First, we need to calculate the total direct labor hours required:

Total direct labor hours= 22,000*1.4= 30,800 hours

Now, the total direct labor costs:

Total direct labor costs= 30,800*9.6

Total direct labor costs= $295,680
