Question

The new artisanal greenhouse would require 700 empty wine bottles be embedded in a frame made of clay and straw. The builder, a man with too much time on his hands, had determined that each time a bottle was added to the structure it would take 30 minutes of labor at $7.50 per hour in the blazing sun. An activity-based costing of the entire artisanal greenhouse revealed that the total labor cost would be:

Answer 1

= $2,625

Step-by-step explanation:

Each time a bottle is added to the structure, It takes 30 minutes of labor at $7.50 per hour.

So the labor cost for adding one bottle to the structure is = 7.50 / 2

= $3.75 per bottle

The atisanal greenhouse requires 700 empty wine bottles to be embedded in a frame, so the total labor cost of the entire artisanal greenhouse would be,

= $3.75 x 700

= $2,625
