Sweet Dreams, Inc. manufactures bedding sets. The budgeted production is for 52,000 comforters in 2012. Each comforter requires 1.5 hours to cut and sew the material. If cutting and sewing labor costs $11.00 per hour, determine the direct labor budget for 2012.

Direct labor budget= $858,000

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

The budgeted production is for 52,000 comforters in 2012. Each comforter requires 1.5 hours to cut and sew the material. If cutting and sewing labor costs $11.00 per hour.

First, we need to calculate the total requirement of direct labor hours:

Total direct labor hours= 52,000 units*1.5= 78,000 hours.

Direct labor budget= 78,000 hours* $11= $858,000

there's 11 people for the 1st position. then, no matter who gets it, there's only 10 left for the second, and then 9 left for the third. 11 x 10 x 9 = 990.   the answer is there are 990 different ways the positions can be filled by these applicants

answer(8,000.)
