cost relationship between direct and indirect.
Direct labor is direct cost as it varies with variation in production level and directly related with number of units of product.
conversion cost = direct wages + factory overheads (indirect material + indirect wages)
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.
