Answer 1

a. $540,000/90,000 DLH = $6 per DLH
b. ($6/hr)(7,000 DLH) = $42,000
c. $675,000/75,000 DLH = $9 per DLH
d. ($9/hr)(25,000 DLH) = $225,000
e. $399,000/42,000 DLH = $9.50 per DLH
f. ($9.50/hr)(10,000 DLH) = $95,000
g ($450,000+$147,000+$475,000+$260,000+$42,000+$225,000+$95,000)/550,000 units = $3.08 per unit
