    Direct labour cost budget = $1,413,000.

    Explanation:

    The direct labor cost budget is a function of the production product budget. The quantity of the product budgeted to be produced would determine the labor cost budget.

    Direct labour budget = Production budget * standard hours * standard labour rate per hour

    Standard hour = 6/60 = 0.1 (note there are 60 minutes in an hour)

    Direct labour budget = 785,000 * 0.1 * 18 = $1,413,000.

    Direct labour cost budget = $1,413,000.
