Answer 1

Standard direct labor rate per hour $14

Standard direct labor hours per pound hours 1.5 hours

Standard cost per pound $21

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

For Standard direct labor rate per hour:

= Price-hourly wage rate + payroll taxes + fringe benefits

= $11 + $1.80 + $1.20

= $14

For Standard direct labor hours per pound hours:

= Quantity-actual production time hours + rest periods and clean up hours + setup and downtime hours

= 1.1 + 0.25 + 0.15

= 1.5 hours

For Standard cost per pound:

= Standard direct labor rate per hour × Standard direct labor hours per pound hours

= $14 × 1.5 hours

= $21
