Solution

To calculate the cost of inventory for one chair, we need to consider the cost of the wooden planks, the cost of the labor, and the cost of the nails.

  1. Cost of wooden planks: The wooden planks are purchased at R250 each. So, the cost of the wooden planks for one chair is R250.

  2. Cost of labor: The employee normally takes two hours to make a chair and is compensated at an hourly rate of R200. However, due to the strike, the employee took five hours to complete a chair. Therefore, the cost of labor for one chair is 5 hours * R200/hour = R1000.

  3. Cost of nails: 25 nails are needed for the manufacturing of the chair, and each nail costs R3. So, the cost of the nails for one chair is 25 nails * R3/nail = R75.

Adding all these costs together, the cost of inventory for one chair is R250 (wooden planks) + R1000 (labor) + R75 (nails) = R1325.
