Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each unit of Product WZ requires 2 hours of direct labor at a rate of $16 per direct labor-hour.

Sales= 39,000 units

Beginning inventory= 610 units

Desired ending inventory= 110 units

First, we need to calculate the production required:

Production= sales + desired ending inventory - beginning inventory

Production= 39,000 + 110 - 610

Production= 38,500

Now, the direct labor budget:

Direct labor hours= 38,500*2= 77,000 hours

Direct labor cost= 77,000*16= $1,232,000

since the options are not listed, when you are working on your budget you should also add water, tv, internet, miscellaneous and your 'fun' money for in your budget. when budgeting, you need to allow for fun money, and mis/accidental money so that you stick to the budget and not go crazy because you feel strapped to the budget.
