This amount is based on the number of sheets in a 4,000 pound bundle of sheet metal, which is the usual purchase quantity.
The foam pad that is put in the case costs $0.05, based on the number of pads that can be cut from a large roll of foam.
Production standards, based on engineering analysis recognizing attainable performance, provide for the manufacture of 2,000 pads by two workers in an eight-hour shift. The standard direct labor pay rate is $14 per hour.
