During selective demolition, 3 workers each spend 10 hours and the burdened labor rate is $95 per hour. What labor cost should be carried?
Correct Answer
C) $2,850.
Total labor-hours are 3 x 10 = 30. At $95 per hour, 30 x 95 = $2,850.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Total labor-hours are 3 x 10 = 30. At $95 per hour, 30 x 95 = $2,850.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $2,400.
$2,400. is below the supported result for labor cost calculation; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.
Option B: $2,700.
$2,700. is below the supported result for labor cost calculation; it likely skips a premium-pay or employer-cost component.
Option D: $3,150.
$3,150. is above the supported result for labor cost calculation; it likely pays the wrong premium tier or counts the same hours twice.
