What is the direct labor cost if a company's direct labor is 40 percent of its conversion cost and the manufacturing overhead cost for the last period was 60000 and the direct materials cost was 30000?

To calculate the direct labor cost, we first need to determine the total conversion cost. Since direct labor is 40% of the conversion cost, indirect labor must be 60%. Therefore, the total conversion cost is 60000 / 0.6 = 100000. Since direct labor is 40% of the conversion cost, direct labor cost is 100000 * 0.4 = 40000. So, the direct labor cost is $40,000.
