Figure Labor Hours Per Year:
  (labor hours)   $ (base labor)   $       $  
x $ (hourly pay rate) x .26 fringe benefits* x .13 supervision x .29 overhead*
 
   
     
     
 
= $ (base labor cost) = $     = $     = $  
  $ +   $ +   $ +   $  
                     
=  $ (total data entry labor cost)
