Labor costs are fixed with respect to the price of each unit. This is because it takes the same amount of time to produce each identical unit. However, in the bigger picture labor is a variable cost. You cannot be certain how many hours people are going to work until after they do.
If Qx = 3 Lx, it means one unit of labor is used to produce one unit of good. Therefore, if the no. of labor is 40, then Quantity produced will be 3*40 = 120.
increasing the supply of labor
The change in output that results from employing an added unit of labor (hiring 1 extra person).
Productivity
No, Direct labor price variance is created due to difference in standard labor rate and actual labor rate for example standard labor rate per unit is 10 and actual labor rate is 11 then 1 per unit is unfavourable direct labor price variance.
Direct Material: Basic material ingredient to manufacture unit of product is called direct material Direct Labor: The basic labor force which is required to make any unit of product and without which it is not possible to make unit of product is called direct labor
Labor Cost is the direct labor utilized to manufacture the product. For Example: 10 labor hours required to manufacture 1 unit of product and labor cost per hour is 10 so total labor cost to manufacture 1 unit is 100 (10 * 10).
The unit cost for direct materials is computed by adding the materials cost in the beginning work in process inventory to the materials cost for the month divided by the total equivalent production figure.Conversion cost per unit is computed by adding direct labor and factory overhead divided by the total equivalent production figure.
cost of direct labor is the total cost of workers involve in production divided by normal capacity is per unit direct labor cost.
Direct labor for manufacturing = direct labor for one unit * total number of units manufactured
add the direct material +( direct labor* time)* nO of worker
Direct labor hour rate is the per hour wage rate paid to skilled or unskilled labor to make one unit of product.
1.Direct Microscopic Counts (DMC) for both viable and nonviable cells
Indirect labor is that kind of labor which is not directly involved in making of unit of product that's why it is not a direct labor and that's why it is not prime cost of unit of product and that's why it is shown in overheads
Unfavorrable direct labor price variance indicates that business has incurred more direct labor cost for production of units of product then standard labor cost. For example if standard cost of direct labor for producing 1 unit is 10 and company incurred 105 for making 10 units then extra 5 is unfavorable direct labor cost variance.
Formula for prime cost is as follows: prime cost = direct material + direct labor So according to above mention formula yes it is prime cost because whitout labor no unit of product can be manufactured.
