Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate labor cost per item

The labor cost per hour is $22 and 250 items are packaged in an hour. So the labor cost per item is $\frac{22}{250}$. $22\div250 = 0.088$

Step2: Calculate total direct - cost per item

The direct - material cost per item is $0.72$. Add the labor cost per item to the direct - material cost per item. $0.72+0.088 = 0.808$

Answer:

$0.808$
