Giving the following information:

Each unit of output requires 0.73 direct labor-hours.

The direct labor rate is $11.60 per direct labor-hour. T

The company is committed to paying its direct labor work force for at least 5,480 hours in total each month even if there is not enough work to keep them busy.

First, we need to calculate the direct labor hours required for each month.

Direct labor hours:

April= 0.73*6,500= 4,745 hours

May= 0.73*6,300= 4,599 hours

Now, we can calculate the direct labor cost for each month:

Direct labor cost:

April= 11.6*5,480= $63,568

May= 11.6*5,480= $63,568
