2) Deep Valley Foods manufactures a product that is first smoked and then packed for shipment to customers. During a normal month the products direct labor cost per pound is budgeted using the following information.

	Direct Labor Hours (per pound)	Budgeted Direct Labor Cost (per hour)
Process:

Packing	0.06		12

The budget for March calls for the production of 500,000 pounds of product. However, Marchs direct labor costs for smoking are expected to be 5 percent above normal due to anticipated scheduling inefficiencies.
