Giving the following information:

Each unit of output requires 0.05 direct labor-hours. The direct labor rate is $9.20 per direct labor-hour. The production budget calls for producing 4,400 units in February and 4,900 units in March.

Production in hours:

February= 0.05*4,400= 220 hours

March= 0.05*4,900= 245 hours

Total cost= 220*9.20 + 245*9.2= $4,278
