Myles · Answer 1

8,100 hours

Explanation:

The computation of standard hours is shown below:-

Total standard hours allowed = (Field models * Field models hours) + (professional binoculars * Professional binoculars hours)

= (950 * 3) + (1,050 * 5)

= 2,850 + 5,250

= 8,100 hours

Therefore for computing the total standard hours allowed we simply applied the above formula.
