Production budget also provides the starting point
for preparing the direct labor cost budget.
Example: Department 1 has a labor cost of $10
per hour. Product A uses 6 hours in Department 1
and Product B uses 4 hours. Department 2 has a
labor cost of $7 per hours. Production A uses 2
hours of Department 2’s labor and Product B uses
½ hour. Prepare a direct labor budget.

Product A (13,500 units)
6 hours per unit x 13,500 81,000
2 hours per unit x 13,500 27,000
