Answer 1

Answer:

Total direct labor cost = $16,087.50

Explanation:

Production = 33,000 candles

Minute per candle = 3 minutes

Total minute to produce 33,000 Candle = 33,000 candles * 3 minutes = 99,000 Minutes

Total hours for production = 99,000 / 60 minutes = 1,650 hours

Hence, molding hours = 1,650 hours

Total direct labor cost = Molding hours * Molding labor costs per hour

Total direct labor cost = 1,650 hours * $9.75

Total direct labor cost = $16,087.50
