Question 1

A workshop produces wedding dresses. Each machinist is paid $30/day and each supervisor $40/day. One supervisor is needed for every 10 machinists. One machinist makes one dress per day. What is the total labour cost for a day where 95 dresses are produced?

  • $2,850
  • $3,210
  • $3,230
  • $3,250✔️
Correct Answer Explanation

1. Machinists needed = 95 (since 1 dress per person). Cost = 95 $\times$ $30 = $2,850.
2. Supervisors needed = 95 / 10 = 9.5, which means 10 supervisors are required. Cost = 10 $\times$ $40 = $400.
3. Total Cost = $2,850 + $400 = $3,250.
