Answer 1

Answer:

The correct option is D

Labour budget = $1,974,175

Explanation:

The labour budget is the product of the standard labour cost per unit and the budgeted production in units

Labour budget = standard labour cost× production budget in unit

The production budget can bed determined by adjusting the sales budget for closing and opening inventories.  

Production budget = Sales budget +closing inventory - opening inventory

Production budget = 39,000 + 100 -200 = 38,900 units

Labour budget = $14.50× 3.5× 38,900 = $1,974,175

Labour budget = $1,974,175
