Geek Chic Company provides computer repair services for the community. Obie Won’s computer was not working, and he called Geek Chic for a home repair visit. Geek Chic Company’s technician arrived at 2:00PM to begin work. By 4:00PM the problem was diagnosed as a failed circuit board. Unfortunately, the technician did not have a new circuit borad in the truck, since the technician’s previous customer had the same problem, and a board was never on that visit. Replacement boards were available back at Geed Chic Company’s shop. Therefore, the technician drove back to the shop to retrieve a replacement board. From 4:00 to 5:00PM, Geed Chic Company’s technician drove round trip to retrieve the replacement board from the shoop.
At 5:00PM the technician was back on the job at Obie’s home. The replacement procedure is somewhat complex, since a variety of tests must be performed once the board is intalled. The job was completed at 6:00PM
Obie’s repair bill shoed the following:
Circuit board: $100
Labor charges: $300
Total: $400
Obie was surprised at the size of the bill and asked for some greater detail supporting the calculations. Geek Chic Company responded with the folowing explanations:
Cost materials –
Purchase price of circuit board: $80
Markup on purchase price to cover storage and handling: $20
Total materials charge: $100
The labor charge per hour is detailed as follows
2:00-3:00PM: $70
3:00-4:00PM: $60
4:00-5:00PM: $80
5:00-6:00PM: $90
Total labor charge: $300
Further explanations in the differences in the hourly rates are as follows:
First hour:
Base labor rate……….$42
Fringe benefits………..$10
Overhead (other than storage and handling)……….$8
Total labor rate……….$60
Additional charge for first hour of any job to cover the cost of vehicle depreciation, fuel, and employee time in transit, A 30-minute transit time is assumed……….$10
New total……….$90
Third hour:
Base labor rate……….$60
The trip back to the shop includes vehicle depreciation and fuel; therefore, a charge was added to the hourly rate to cover tehse costs. The round trip took an hour………$20
New total……….$80
Fourth hour:
Base labor rate……….$60
Overtime premium for time worked in excess of an eight-hour day (starting at 5:00PM) is equal to 1.5 times the base rate……….$30
New total……….$90
