Answer:

The budget direct labor cost for the first quarter of the year is $57,774

Explanation:

Units per month:

January = 2,680

February = 2,600

March = 2,740

Total of units first quarter of year = 2,680+2,600+2,740= 8,020

So, "Each unit requires 0.6 hours of direct labor"

We need to multiply the units by the hours of direct labor

*why ?

Rule of three

1 unit need --------- 0.6 hours direct labor

8,020---------------- ?

= (8,020 x 0.6) / 1

= 4,812 / 1

= 4,812 hours we need to produce the total units

Finally: we need to multiply the hours by the payment per hour, or direct labor rate that is $12

4,812 x $12= $57,774 is the budget direct labor cost for the first quarter of the year.
