A corporation is developing its direct labor budget for the next two months. Each unit of output requires 0.85 direct labor hours. The direct labor rate is $12.00 per hour. The production budget calls for producing 7,900 units in November and 7,700 units in December. The company guarantees its direct labor workers a 40-hour paid work week. With the number of workers currently employed, that means that the company is committed to paying its direct labor work force for at least 6750 hours in total each month even if there is not enough work to keep them busy. What would be the total combined direct labor cost for the two months? Multiple Choice $162,000.00 $159,120.00 $159.540.00 $161,58000
