Answer:
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.
