A layout crew completes 255 lf of wall layout per day. The project has 1,785 lf. At $1,680 per crew day, what labor amount should be carried?
Correct Answer
C) $11,760
Divide quantity by daily production and multiply by crew-day cost.
Why This Is the Correct Answer
Divide quantity by daily production and multiply by crew-day cost.
Why the Other Options Are Wrong
Option A: $10,080
$10,080 is below the supported result for crew production; it likely omits allowance, conversion, coverage, or final round-up.
Option B: $12,600
$12,600 is above the supported result for crew production; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Option D: $13,440
$13,440 is above the supported result for crew production; it likely double-counts allowance, uses the wrong unit, or rounds too early.
Memory Technique
Measure to divide, adjust for daily, then let Prices Interior set the finish line.
