Answer 1

Answer:

$21,450

Explanation:

In March,

Total direct labor hours required:

= Production budget × Direct labor hour required per unit

= 2,000 × 0.5

= 1,000 hours

Total direct labor cost = Total direct labor hours required × Direct labor hour per rate

                                     = 1,000 hours × $13

                                     = $13,000

In April,

Total direct labor hours required:

= Production budget × Direct labor hour required per unit

= 1,300 × 0.5

= 650 hours

Total direct labor cost = Total direct labor hours required × Direct labor hour per rate

                                     = 650 hours × $13

                                     = $8,450

Combined direct labor cost = $13,000 + $8,450

                                              = $21,450
