It takes a lawyer 120 minutes to serve one customer. Demand is 2 customers per 10-hour day. The lawyer has a wage rate of $150 per hour. a. What is the cost of direct labor for the lawyer expressed in $ per customer?

$750 per customer

Explanation:

Given that,

Time taken to serve 1 customer = 120 minutes

Demand = 2 customers per day

Wage rate = $150 per hour

Total available hours per 10-hour day:

= 10 × 60 minutes

= 600 minutes

Time taken for serving three customers:

= 120 minutes × 2

= 240 minutes or 4 hours

Labor cost of lawyer for servicing hours:

= Wage rate × Time taken for serving three customers

= $150 per hour × 4 hours

= $600

Direct labor cost of lawyer for 10-hours (2 customers):

= Wage rate × 10 hours

= $150 per hour × 10 hours

= $1,500

There is a 6 hours difference between the available hours and service hours. Since, the lawyer is attending 2 customers in an 10 hours day, the aforesaid 6 hours cost should be equally loaded on the 2 customers and then one customer = 6/2 = 3 hours

Direct labor cost for one customer:

= Direct labor cost of lawyer for 10-hours (2 customers) ÷ No. of customers

= $1,500 ÷ 2

= $750 per customer

the correct answer is:

it required the president to inform congress within forty-eight hours of any new troop commitment.

the war powers resolution (1973) is a federal law designed to limit the u.s. president’s ability to initiate or intensify military actions abroad without the approval of the congress.

it establishes that the president can send armed forces into action abroad only by declaration of war by congress, statutory authorization, or in case of a national emergency created by attack upon the united states, its territories or possessions, or its armed forces.

it requires the president to notify congress within 48 hours of sending armed forces to military action.
