- 6000 units have been installed to date with 9,000 units to install. Labor costs are $23,300.00 to date. What is the unit cost for labor to date?arrow_forwardThe base rate for labor is $15/hr. The labor burden is 35% and 3% for small tools for the labor. There are 1000 units to install. Records indicate that trade workers can install 10 units per hour, per trade worker.
