Giving the following information:

Each unit of output requires 0.52 direct labor-hours. The direct labor rate is $9.00 per direct labor-hour. The production budget calls for producing 1,700 units in April and 1,600 units in May. The company is committed to paying its direct labor workforce for at least 960 hours a month.

We need to calculate the total number of hours required each month.

April:

Direct labor hours= 1,700 units* 0.52= 884 hours

Total cost= 960 hours*$9= $8,640

May:

Direct labor hours= 1,600 units* 0.52= 832 hours

Total cost= 960 hours*$9= $8,640
