plz someone help :）

The management accountant of a furniture manufacturer is developing a standard for the labour cost of one massage chair. When operating at peak efficiency, a skilled worker will take 2020 hours to produce assemble one massage chair and 20 minutes to package one massage chair. However, due to the complexity of manufacturing the chair, even a skilled worker who is highly efficient often needs another 2.52.5 hr to adjust the tools, re-oil relevant machinery and rework some parts of the chair prior to packaging. A skilled worker is paid $40$40 per hour which excludes on-costs of 20 per cent.

Total Hours	22.83
Rate per hour	40
Labor Charge per chair without on-cost	913.3333333
Add: On-Cost 20%	182.6666667
Total Labor Charge	1096

Chairs Assembled	69
Labor Cost for 85 chairs
Hours needed to produce	20
Rate per hour plus on-cost = 40*(1+20%)	48
Labor Cost for 69 chairs	66240
Hours to check and pack the chairs (2.5+.3333)	2.83
Chairs without defect (69-25)	44
Cost to check and pack 44 chairs	5984
Total Labor Cost to produce and pack 44 chairs (5984+66240)	72224
