The correct answer is 1. Labor in 2000 costs more than the cost of labor and materials in 1940.
Explanation:
The graph shows how the cost to make a jacket at Overhill factory changed from 1940 to 2000. In this graph, the general trend is an increase in the expenses over time. Moreover, this cost is considered based on three categories: labor, materials, and factory maintenance. Besides this, labor is the one that has increased significantly. Indeed, in 2002 the cost of labor over $4.00, while the cost of labor in 1940 was only $2.00. This means the cost duplicated and the labor cost in 2000 was higher than in 1940 (option 1.)
