Answer:
$43,500
Explanation:
Direct labor costs refer to the salaries that are paid to the employees that perform a job that is related to the production of a good. In this case, it would be the wages of the employees that work in the production of the units budgeted.
To calculate the total cost, first you have to calculate the amount of hours require to produce 11,600 units:
1 unit → 15 minutes
11,600 units → x
x=(11,600*15)/1= 174,000 minutes
1 hour → 60 minutes
x ← 174,000 minutes
x=(1*174,000)/60= 2,900 hours
Now, you can calculate the total budgeted direct labor costs by multiplying the labor rate per hour for the number of hours needed to manufacture the units budgeted:
$15*2,900= $43,500
According to this, the answer is that the total budgeted direct labor costs for February is $43,500.
