Answer:

Standard direct labour cost = $20.00 per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

The direct labour costs represent expenditures incurred in respect of direct worker which can be traced to the product been produced. For example, the labour cost of machine operator saddled with production task.

The payroll cost is not a direct labour cost because payroll employed are not direct workers, also benefits are overheads related to direct workers

Standard direct labour cost = $20.00
