The preparation of the direct labor budget is presented below:

                              Direct labor cost budget

                          For the month of July 2016

Particulars             Forming Department Assembly Department

Production             1,500 units                        6,200 units  

Hours required

Junior                    240                                   360

Hours Required

Pro                       1,240                                    1,860

Total Hours

Department wise (A)   1,480                              2,220

Total Hourly rate (B)    $18                              $14

Total Direct

Labor Cost (A × B)     $26,640                    $31,080

The computation is shown below:

For Junior, it would be

Forming = 0.16 × 1,500 = 240

Assembly = 0.24 × 1,500 = 360

For Pro, it would be

Forming = 0.20 × 6,200 = 1,240

Assembly = 0.30 × 6,200 = 1,860
