    D) $30,000

    Explanation:

    To calculate the prime cost per unit we can use the following formula:

    prime cost per unit = direct materials per unit + direct labor per unit = $26

    We were given the total direct materials, so to determine the direct per unit we divide that by the total units produced: $100,000 / 5,000 units = $20

    direct labor per unit = prime cost per unit - direct materials per unit

    direct labor per unit = $26 - $20 = $6

    Now to calculate the total labor cost we multiply the direct labor per unit ($6) times 5,000 units = $30,000
