Webster Corporation

Budgeted direct labor cost for quarter

= Total production * hours required * rate

= (2940+2730+3390)*0.6*12

=$9,060*7.2

= 65,232

Answer:

Budgeted labour cost for the quarter = $60,480

Explanation:

The labour budget shoes the estomated cost of labour hours required to achieve the  production  budget.

Direct labour budget:

Total production for the first quarter =   2,940 + 2,730  +   3,390 =8400 units

The labour budget in hours = Total production unit × standard hour

      = 8400 × 0.6 hours

      = 5040 hours

Total labour budget i ($) =  Total labour hours × rate per hour

                  = 5040 × $12

                  = $60,480
