Calculate total job cost:
C=setup_time*(labor+overhead) + batch_size*operating_time*(labor+overhea… + tooling
1*(20+40) + B*(10/60)*(20+40) +0 = 2*(20+60) + B*(2/60)*(20+60) + 450
60+10B=160+(8/3)B + 450
B=75
C=setup_time*(labor+overhead) + batch_size*operating_time*(labor+overhea… + tooling
1*(20+40) + B*(10/60)*(20+40) +0 = 2*(20+60) + B*(2/60)*(20+60) + 450
60+10B=160+(8/3)B + 450
B=75
