Answer:

The budgeted cost of direct labor for the month is $333,333.

Explanation:

This question can be solved using rules of three.

The direct labor rate is $100 per hour.

Each unit requires 20 minutes of direct labor to complete.

An hour has 60 minutes, so in an hour, 60/20 = 3 units can be made.

This means that the cost of 3 units is $100.

10,000 units per month.

How much do 10,000 units cost?

3 units - 100

10,000 units - $x

[tex]3x = 10000*100[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{10000*100}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x = 333333[/tex]

The budgeted cost of direct labor for the month is $333,333.
