Labor time = 6 1/2 hours overhead rate = 55% retail price of parts = $114.70 total cost of job = $231.08 what is hourly rate for labor?

The  hourly rate for labor is $11.55

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi, to solve this problem you have to discount the retail price of parts ($114.70)

to the total cost of job ($231.08).

So:

$231.8- $114.70 ==$116.38

The result obtained is the total cost of labor.

Next, you have to divide the total cost of labor by the labor time, in this case 6 1/2 hours (6.15 hours).

So:

$116.38 ÷6.15 h = $17.90 /h

Finally, divide by the  overhead (55%):

$17.90 /h ÷ 1.55 =$11.55
