This discussion is related to Making a Decision, MAD 16-1 of your text (page 832). The text gives you company details and asks for your analysis about two items, 1) the labor cost per unit (one sports coat) and 2) the labor hours per unit. I have started you off by completing the calculations for you! Take a look at the following tables: Total Direct Labor Cost Direct Labor Cost/Unit Job Count 107 63.00 10 6.30 125 98.00 14 7.00 160 123.20 16 7.70 192 51.20 6.40 Total Direct Labor Direct Labor Job Count Hours Hours/Unit |107 4.5 10 .45 |125 7.0 14 .50 |160 8.8 16 .55 192 3.2 .40
