Affordable Electronics Inc. manufactures medium-quality, reasonably priced wireless speakers for home use. The company uses standards to control its costs. The labour standards that have been set for one speaker are as follows:

During July, 7,150 hours of direct labour time were recorded to make 23,000 units. The direct labour cost totalled $91,520 for the month.
