a packaging employee making $18 per hour can package 360 items during that hour. the direct material cost is $0.40 per item. what is the total direct cost of 1 item?

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate labor cost per item

The labor cost per hour is $18 and 360 items are packaged per hour. So the labor cost per item is $\frac{18}{360}$. $ \frac{18}{360}=0.05$

Step2: Calculate total direct - cost per item

The direct - material cost per item is $0.40 and the labor cost per item is $0.05. The total direct cost per item is the sum of the direct - material cost and the labor cost per item. $0.40 + 0.05=0.45$

Answer:

$0.450$
