The wage rate used to establish the budget was $18.60 per hour. On August 1, however, it increased to $21.60 as the result of an inflation index provision in the union contract. Furthermore, the purchasing department did not provide the materials needed in accordance with the production schedule, which forced Ms. Morgan to use 110 hours of overtime at a $32.40 rate. The projected 480 hours of labor in the budget would have been sufficient had it not been for the 110 hours of overtime. In other words, 590 hours of labor were used in August. Required a.
