Problem - A direct labor worker at Vorwald Corporation is paid $14 per hour for regular time and time and a half for all work in excess of 40 hours per week. The company's fringe benefits cost $6 for each hour of employee time (both regular and overtime). Last week this employee worked 43 hours but was idle for 4 hours due to material shortages. The company treats all fringe benefits relating to direct labor as added direct labor cost and the remainder as part of manufacturing overhead.

Requirements - Determine how much of the worker's wages for the week would be classified as direct labor cost and how much would be classified as manufacturing overhead cost. Show your work.
