Respuesta :

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
