Answer:
See below
Explanation:
From the above,
One bucket requires;
200 grams of plastic and one half of direct labor
The plastic costs $10 per 200 grams and the employees are paid $15 per hour.
Therefore, one bucket costs (material and labor) :
= $10 + $15 × (1/2)hour = $17.5 per plus 1.10 × $7.50 = $25.75
For 1,080 buckets
$25.75 × 1,080 = $27,810
Therefore, the total amount of budgeted direct material for March is $27,810
