4.1 LABOUR COST

Skilled labour per day

1000

Unskilled labour per day

300 × 2= 600

Total labour cost per day

(Unskilled + Skilled)= (600 + 1000)

= ,1600

Total labour cost per week

(1600 × 6)= 9600

Over head

40% total labour

(40÷100) × 9600= 3840

Total cost = (Materials + Overhead + Labour cost)

=(1600+9600+3840 )

= 15040
