Answer:
Instructions are listed below.
Explanation:
Estimated production:
July= 620
August= 680
September= 540
Each unit produced requires two hours of direct labor.
The direct labor rate is currently $20 per hour but is predicted to be $21 per hour in September.
First, we need to calculate the total number of hours for each month. Then, calculate the total cost.
July:
Direct labor hours= 620*2= 1,240 hours
Total cost= 1,240*20= $24,800
August:
Direct labor hours= 680*2= 1,360
Total cost= 1,360*20= $27,200
September:
Direct labor hours= 540*2= 1,080
Total cost= 1,080*21= $22,680
