Explanation:

First, we need to determine the hourly rate of labor in Verde Appliance Repair shop.

+) Total cost of Verde Appliance Repair Shop in a year is:

Total Cost = Repair-technicians' wages + Fringe Benefits + Overhead = 111,188 + 27,852 + 47,388 = $186,428

+) As the total labor hours are 4,400

=> Cost per hour = Total Cost ÷ Total Labor Hours = $186,428 ÷ 4,400 = $42.37

+) The hourly labor rate = Cost per hour + Profit margin = 42.37 + 24.34 = $66.71
