Assuming the company's $41,000 ending Work in Process inventory account for the year had $20,000 of direct material costs, determine the amount of direct labor costs.

Ending Work in Process inventory account | 41,000 |
Less: Direct Material Cost | (20,000) |
Direct labor and overhead Cost | 21,000 |
