Final answer:

Marburg company expects its direct materials cost to be $6 per unit for 100,000 units, resulting in a total budgeted direct materials cost of $600,000. Without additional information, we can assume that the standard direct materials cost is related to this $6 per unit figure.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question relates to Marburg company's budgeted direct materials cost and standard direct materials cost. Given that the company expects its direct materials cost to be $6 per unit for 100,000 units, the total budgeted direct materials cost would be $600,000 (100,000 units multiplied by $6 per unit). The standard direct materials cost is the amount the company should normally expect to pay per unit, based on efficient operations and current market prices. It would typically be predefined and serve as a benchmark for evaluating actual costs. In this case, however, we do not have enough information from the question to definitively determine the standard cost other than it relates to the expected cost of $6 per unit.
