a. $64.
b. $75.
c. $11.
d. $40.
e. $24.

Answer 1

b. $75.

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the time charge per hour is shown below;

But before that the total charge is

Labour Charge = $800,000

Overhead Cost = $480,000

Target Profit = $220,000

Total Charge = $1,500,000

Now

time charge per year is

= $1,500,000 ÷ 20,000 direct labor hours

= $75 per year

Hence, the company's time charge per hour is $75 per year

Therefore the correct option is b.
