Answer 1

The standard hours allowed for May production would be 2,250 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to calculate the standard hours allowed for May production we would have to calculate the following formula:

Standard Hours allowed = actual Units / Budgeted units * Budgeted Labour Hours

actual Units=900

Budgeted units=1,000

Budgeted Labour Hours=2,5000 hours

Therefore, Standard Hours allowed =900/1,000 * 2,500 = 2,250 Hours

Standard Hours allowed = 2,250 Hours

The standard hours allowed for May production would be 2,250 hours
