Labor costs incurred during a recent period were:
corporate executives, $100,000
assembly-line workers, $80,000
security guards, $18,000
plant supervisor, $30,000
<u>A labor cost is categorized as direct labor when it can be directly traced to the product line, meaning to a specific product.</u>

In this case, the only direct labor cost is the assembly-line workers.
The security guards and plant supervisors are indirect labor, categorized in manufacturing overhead costs.
Total direct labor cost= 80,000
