Answer:
Total direct labor hours= 62,100 hours
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
We know that the direct labor hour costs $20. And that Big Z will produce 46000 units using $19 of direct labor per unit. Also, Little Z will produce 23000 units using $16 direct labor per unit.
Direct labor hours=?
$20= 1 hour
$1=?= (1*100/20)= 5%= 3 minutes
One unit of Big Z uses:
19*3´= 57 minutes
46000 units= (46000*57)/60= 43,700 hours
One unit of Little Z:
16*3´= 48 minutes
23000 units= (23000*48)/60'= 18,400 hours
Total direct labor hours= 62,100 hours
