Given information:
- Each worker is paid $2,000 per month
- A worker can produce 100 units per month
To calculate the total wage expense, we need to know how many workers are required. So we divide the total units needed by the units a worker can produce per month:
Total units needed / Units a worker can produce per month = Number of workers required
Since a chase plan was mentioned but no information about how many total units are needed was provided, I cannot calculate the total wage expense. I would need to know how many units are required to be produced in total in order to determine how many workers are needed, and then I could multiply the number of workers by the monthly wage per worker.
In summary, to calculate the total wage expense, I need:
1) Total units needed in production
2) Units a worker can produce per month (given as 100)
3) Monthly wage per worker (given as $2,000)
With those three pieces of information, I can calculate the number of workers required and then the total wage expense as:
Workers required = Total units needed / Units a worker can produce per month
Total wage expense = Number of workers required * Monthly wage per worker
Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
