c. Determine the standard direct labor cost per brake repair.

Answer :

Answer and Explanation:

The computation is shown below:

1. The standard direct labor hours per brake repairs are shown below:

Actual time spent               5  hours

Setup and downtime (5 hours × 11%) 0.55

Cleanup and rest periods (5 hours × 27%) 1.35

Standard direct labor hours per brake repair 6.9

2. For standard direct labor hourly rate

Wage rate per hour $10

Payroll Taxes ($10 × 10%) $1

Fringe Benefits ($10 × 25%) $2.5

Standard direct labor hourly rate $13.5

3. For the standard direct labor cost per brake repair

= 6.9 hours × $13.5

= $93.50
