This is the copy of the entire question from my book since my book is not included in your listing.

My question is that i am unsure how I am supposed to break down the Direct Labor since it has been included into the fixed MOH. It doesnt tell me that it is all of it of how much of it it is to subtract it out. On the Absorption costing i could always put Direct labor as 0 since Fixed MOH is included on it, but that wouldnt work with Variable Costing.
