Waste disposal cost per unit for tables = $3.105

Explanation:

Given data:

Direct labor costs                                 $ 5,400,000

Hazardous waste disposal costs          610,000

                                                   

                                                     Chairs                   Table

Expected production                219,000 units       12,000 units

Direct labor hours required      254,000 DLH      16,200 DLH

Hazardous waste disposed      700 pounds         400 pounds

                               =       610,000                         270,200

                                                                              (254,000+16,200)

                               =     $2.3 per hour
