    B. 0.3125

    Explanation:

    The computation of the cost of direct labor in $ per customer is shown below:

    = Total employee cost : take order time

    where,

    Total employee cost equal to

    = Each employee wages rate per hour * number of employees

    = $7.5 * 5

    = $37.5

    And, the take order time is

    = 30 * 4 employees

    = 120

    So, the cost of direct labor per customer is

    = $37.5 : 120

    = 0.3125
