If staff salaries were $44,000/month last year, and the yearly labor cost increase from last year to this year is $108,000, what is the monthly labor cost this year?

$53,000

Step-by-step explanation:

If staff salaries were $44,000 per month last year.

There are 12 months in one year.

Therefore, the staff salaries of the last year = $44,000 × 12

                                                                        = $528,000

The yearly labor cost increase from last year to this year = $108,000

So the yearly labor cost for this year would be = 528,000 + 108,000

                                                                              = $636,000

Therefore, the monthly labor cost this year =  

                                                                       = $53,000

The monthly labor cost this year would be $53,000.
