The company paid these direct labor workers a total of $31,500 for this work, or $9.00 per hour According to the standard cost card for this meal, it should require 0.50 direct labor-hours at a cost of $8.50 per hour Required 1. According to the standards, what direct labor cost should have been incurred to prepare 7,200 meals How much does this differ from the actual direct labor cost?
