Owl Company

The packaging and shipping cost assigned to Order 705, which has 40 items is:

= $127.50

Explanation:

a) Data and Calculations:

Number of people employed by the packaging and shipping department = 12

Working days per employee = 20 days per month on average

Shift per day = 8 hours

Minutes for breaks and a meal = 75 minutes per day

Total minutes spent working per month = (20 * 8 * 60) - (75 * 20) = 8,100

Salary per employee = $ 4,050 per month

Salary per minute = $0.50 ($4,050/8,100)

Minutes spent in preparing a package and label = 15 minutes

Minutes spent for bubble wrap and packaging = 6 minutes per item

Total Packaging and shipping cost = Total Minutes of labor used in Packaging (40 * 6 + 15) * Labor cost per minute

= 255 minutes * $0.50 per minute

= $127.50
