The skilled labour that would be required is available within EC, but only if thone employees are transferred from other work that they are currently doing. This other work could be done by sub-contractors who could be hired on an hourly basis at a cost of R7 per hour. Alternatively sub-contractors could be hired to work on this new customer's order at a cost of R9 per hour. EC's current skilled labour is paid R8 per hour. The unskilled labour is paid an hourly rate of R6 but only for hours that they are actively working. There are only 40 hours of additional unskilled labour available within normal working hours. In order to complete the customer order on time they would have to work 20 hours of overtime. EC pays an overtime premium of 50% 5. The work would be supervised by the existing supervisor as part of his normal activity. The supervisor is paid an annual salary which is equivalent to R20 per hour for a 40 hour working week. 6. The machines that would need to be used have a running cost of R12 per hour. Two different machines would be required: machine W for 12 hours and machine z for 8 hours. Both machines are regularly used by EC. Machine W is very specialised and is used for only some of EC's work. There is sufficient spare capacity on this machine. Machine Z is in constant use by EC and, if it is required for this customer order, EC would need to hire an additional machine at a hire cost of R5 per hour (excluding running costs) to fulfill its normal work. 7.
