Answer:

b. . $160.50

Explanation:

Projected Sales 1,000 units

Desired ending inventory = 10%*1,000 = 100 units

Beginning Inventory = 30 units

Required production = Projected Sales + Desired ending inventory - Beginning Inventory

Required production = 1,000 units + (10%*1,000 units) - 30 units

Required production = 1,000 units + 100 units - 30 units

Required production = 1,070 units

Labor hours per unit = 0.20

Cost per labor hour = $0.75

Budgeted labor cost for March = Required production*Labor hours per unit*Cost per labor hour

Budgeted labor cost for March = 1,070 units*$0.20*$0.75

Budgeted labor cost for March = $160.50

Hence, the budgeted labor cost for March is $160.50.
