Calculate the labour cost chargeable to these three jobs on the assumption that these jobs were completed only by Simon.

Answers

Wilfred
Total wages of Simon = 360 hrs x shs 200 = shs 72000
Proportion of time for three jobs
A: B: C=160: 120: 80 OR 4: 3: 4

Therefore labour cost is apportioned as per these proportions.
Job A = shs 72000 x 4/9 = shs 800
” B = shs 72000 x 3/9 = shs 600
” C = shs 72000 x 2/9 = shs 400
