$266,400
The correct answer is C.
Explanation:
Giving the following information:
Each skirt (unit) requires 2.2 yards of cloth.
Budgeted production (in units)
September= 14,800
Each unit requires 0.8 hours of direct labor, and the average hourly cost of Tracie's direct labor is $18.
To calculate the total cost of direct labor, first, we need to calculate the total number of hours required:
Total hours= 14,800*0.8= 11,840 hours
Now, we can calculate the total cost:
Total direct labor cost= 11,840*$18 = $213,120
