Direct labor cost for the 2nd quarter will be $192,000.

Answer 1

Answer: 4. direct labour costs for the second quarter will be $192000

Step-by-step explanation:

Finished Goods opening balance (quarter 2) = 4000

Projected sales = 40000

total units = 4000 + 40000 = 44000

direct labour produces 2 units per hour and an hour cost $8

direct labour cost = 44000/2 = 22000 hours = 22000 x 8 =176000

direct labour costs for quarter 2 = $ 176000. NOT $192000
