St. Luke Hospital began using standards to evaluate its Admissions Department. The standard was broken into two types of admissions as follows:

The unscheduled admission took longer, since name, address, and insurance information needed to be determined at the time of admission. Information was collected on scheduled admissions prior to the admissions, which was less time consuming.The Admissions Department employs two full-time people (40 productive hours per week, with no overtime) at $18 per hour. For the most recent week, the department handled 66 unscheduled and 240 scheduled admissions.a. How much was actually spent on labor for the week?b.
