Step 6 Test Result

Test the results by running a Quantities By Category report, as shown.

The calculation of processing time is the number of items i.e. 2 handles multiplied by 10 minutes = 20 minutes

The calculation is hourly cost of $0.50 divided by 60 minutes multiplied by 20 minutes.

Therefore the labour cost of this part would be $0.16

The above report shows only pricing details pertaining to this tutorial.

Rounding during the calculation process can cause amounts to increase by a few cents.
