Quizplus · Accepted Answer

To calculate the budgeted direct labor costs for June, first determine the number of units to be produced: 31,000 units to be sold + 600 ending inventory - 100 beginning inventory = 31,500 units to be produced. Each unit requires 3.5 hours of direct labor, so 31,500 units x 3.5 hours/unit = 110,250 direct labor hours. At $16.00 per hour, the total direct labor cost is 110,250 hours x $16.00/hour = $1,764,000.
