Prepare a direct labor budget for the month's July, August, and September.

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
