Part I: Effective cost per hour 1 shift (8 hours) per day 7 holidays 8 days of vacation Fringe: 40% of base wage Base hourly wage: $16.50 per hour 30-minute lunch (paid) plus two 15-minute breaks (paid) per day.

1. What is the effective cost per hour per employee?

This is my answeris it correct?

Fringe benefits = Base hourly wage * Fringe percentage = $16.50 * 0.40 = $6.60

Next, add the fringe benefits to the base wage to get the total cost per hour: Total cost per hour = Base hourly wage + Fringe benefits = $16.50 + $6.60 = $23.10

Since the employee is getting paid for 8 hours but is productive for only 7 hours (due to breaks and lunch), we need to distribute the cost over the 7 productive hours:

Effective cost per hour = Total cost per hour * (Total hours in a shift / Productive hours in a shift) = $23.10 * (8 / 7) = $23.10 * 1.1429 = $26.40 (approximately)
