Galactic Inc. manufactures flying drone toys. Sales units for January, February, March, April and May were 320, 300, 372, 332, and 400 respectively. Budgeted production in units for January, February, and March were 315, 318, and 362 respectively. Each unit requires 3 direct labor hours and Galactic’s hourly labor rate is $16 per hour. The company’s variable overhead is $5.00 per unit produced and its fixed overhead is $5,600 per month..

Required:
a. Determine Galactic's direct labor budget for the first quarter.
b. Determine Galactic's manufacturing overhead budget for the first quarter

Answer 1

Direct labor costs= $47,760

total manufacturing overhead= $10,575

Step-by-step explanation:

Giving the following information:

Production= 315 + 318 + 362= 995 units

Each unit requires 3 direct labor hours.

Hourly rate= $16

Variable overhead per unit= $5

Fixed overhead= $5,600

First, we need to calculate the direct labor hours:

Direct labor hours= 995*3= 2,985

Now, the direct labor costs:

Direct labor costs= $47,760

Finally, the total manufacturing overhead:

total manufacturing overhead= 5,600 + 5*995

total manufacturing overhead= $10,575
