Solution and Explanation:
The budgeted cost of the direct labor for the month is calcuated as follows:
the given data:
Budgeted production is = 8000 units, time required of direct labor work in order to complete the production is = 40 minutes, the direct labor rate as given in the question is = $100 per hour.
Budgeted cost = time multply with rate of labor multiply with budgeted production
(40/60 multiply with 100) multiply with 8000 = 533,333.33
therefore, the budgeted cost = $533333.33 ( rounded of to 2 places).
