Question
**Problem Context:**

Piper Corporation’s standards require 4,900 direct labor-hours to produce 1,400 units of product. During October, the company worked 1,300 direct labor-hours and produced 1,300 units. The task is to calculate the standard hours allowed for October based on the production.

**Question:**

What would the standard hours allowed for October be? (Round your intermediate calculations to 1 decimal place.)

**Multiple Choice Options:**

- ○ 4,900 hours
- ○ 1,300 hours
- ○ 4,550 hours
- ○ 3,600 hours

**Guidance:**

To calculate the standard hours allowed, use the ratio of standard hours per unit calculated from the given standards:
\[ \text{Standard hours per unit} = \frac{4,900 \text{ hours}}{1,400 \text{ units}} \]

Use this to find the standard hours allowed for the actual output:
\[ \text{Standard hours allowed} = \text{Standard hours per unit} \times 1,300 \text{ units} \]
