$14 an hour. Overtime is paid at 150% of the base rate. Without the special order K&F is expecting to
produce 300 bicycles for the month.

weeks in a typical month, how much should K&F have in their labor budget for this
month without
accepting the special order? How much would they budget with
special order?
