Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate labor cost per item

The employee makes $22 per hour and can package 40 items per hour. So the labor - cost per item is $\frac{22}{40}$. $22\div40 = 0.55$

Step2: Calculate total direct cost per item

The direct - material cost per item is $0.56$. The total direct cost per item is the sum of the labor cost per item and the direct - material cost per item. $0.55 + 0.56=1.110$

Answer:

$1.110$
