**Question:**
Jillian Inc. produces leather handbags. The production budget for the next four months is:
- July: 5,200 units
- August: 7,600 units
- September: 7,500 units
- October: 8,300 units
Each handbag requires 1.9 hours of unskilled labor (paid $15 per hour) and 3.2 hours of skilled labor (paid $23 per hour). What will be the total labor cost for the month of August?
**Multiple Choice Options:**
- A) $775,950
- B) $559,360
- C) $125,360
- D) $704,800
**Explanation:**
Calculate the total labor cost by multiplying the labor hours required for each type of labor by the cost per hour, and then multiplying that by the number of units produced in August.
1. **Unskilled Labor Cost (August):**
- Units: 7,600
- Hours per unit: 1.9
- Cost per hour: $15
Total unskilled labor cost = 7,600 * 1.9 * $15
2. **Skilled Labor Cost (August):**
- Units: 7,600
- Hours per unit: 3.2
- Cost per hour: $23
Total skilled labor cost = 7,600 * 3.2 * $23
3. **Total Labor Cost for August:**
- Add the total unskilled and skilled labor costs to find the total for August.
Review the options and choose the correct total labor cost based on your calculations for the month of August.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F722bea73-1b23-42a9-a20d-4d3ae022af80%2Fbfb25d24-c92f-45de-9a9d-7a56bf50c882%2Fvazeche_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
