    Option (b) $97,500

    Explanation:

    Data provided in the question:

    Salary of each inspector = $75,000

    Time spend by one inspector on inspecting parts = 100%

    Time spend by other inspector on inspecting parts = 30%

    Time spend by other inspector on inspecting final product = 100%

    Now,

    The labor cost that should be assigned to the activity, inspecting parts is

    = 100% of salary of one inspector + 30% of the salary of the other inspector

    = $75,000 + (30% of $75,000)

    = $75,000 + (0.30 * $75,000)

    = $75,000 + $22,500

    = $97,500

    Option (b) $97,500
