PLEASE HELP THANK U

Consider a process consisting of three resources. Assume there exists unlimited demand for the product, and that all activities are
always performed in the following sequence.
Resource 1 has a processing time of 6 minutes per unit.
Resource 2 has a processing time of 3 minutes per unit.
Resource 3 has a processing time of 5 minutes per unit.
All three resources are staffed by one worker and each worker gets paid $11 per hour.
Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 2 decimal places.
a. What is the cost of direct labor?
per unit
Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to nearest whole number.
b. What is the labor content?

Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your answer to 1 decimal place.
g. If they could take 1 minute of task time from one resource and give it to another
resource (so the labor content remains the same), What would be the new capacity of the
process (units per hour)? Assume that there is still only 1 worker per station.
