Idle time, eh? I bet the answer is something like 'the cost of doing nothing'... *laughs*

Ah, the old 'include the idle time' trick. Gotta watch out for that one. *chuckles*

Wait, do we have to include the idle time in the standard labor cost? That's a tricky one.

Hmm, let's see... 9.5 active labor hours, 5% idle time, and $12 per hour. Seems like a straightforward calculation to me.

I agree with Sherill. The idle time is already included in the standard labour cost, so it should be C) $119.70.
