Answer 1

Answer:

Total direct labor hours= 102,144

Total direct labor costs= $2,042,880

Explanation:

Giving the following formula:

Standard quantity= 2.4 hours

Standard rate= $20 per hour

First, we need to calculate the production required:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 43,000 + 110 - 550

Production= 42,560 units

Now, the direct labor budget:

Total direct labor hours= 42,560*2.4= 102,144

Total direct labor costs= 102,144*20= $2,042,880
