The owner of Warwick Printing is planning direct labor needs for the upcoming year. The owner has provided you with the following information for next year€™s plans:

Each color on the banner must be printed one at a time. Thus, for example, a four-color banner will need to be run through the printing operation four separate times. The total production volume last year was 800 banners, as shown below.

As you can see, the four- color banner is a new product offering for the upcoming year. The owner believes that the expected 1,000- unit increase in volume from last year means that direct labor expenses should increase by 125% (1,000/ 800). What do youthink?
