Talia Demarest, controller, is responsible for preparing the company's master budget.

This will reduce the direct labor per frame from 3.0 hours to 2.75 hours. Labor-related costs include pension contributions of $0.55 per hour, workers' compensation insurance of $0.25 per hour, employee medical insurance of $1 per hour, and employer contributions to Social Security equal to 6.00 percent of direct-labor wages. The cost of employee benefits paid by the company on its employees is treated as a direct-labor cost.
