Answer 1

Answer:

Total direct labor hours= 77,250

Direct labor cost= $911,550

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 51,500 units

Standard hours= 1.5 per unit

Standard rate= $11.8 per hour

First, we need to calculate the direct labor hours required:

Total direct labor hours= 1.5*51,500= 77,250

Now, the direct labor cost:

Direct labor cost= 77,250*11.8

Direct labor cost= $911,550
