    a. $5,460

    Explanation:

    The computation of the ending amount of direct labor cost is shown below:

    First we have to compute the direct labor hours which is

    = Ending work in process - direct materials cost

    = $17,578 - $7,750

    = $9,828

    The total per direct labor hours is

    = $12 + $15

    = $27

    So, the direct labor hours would be

    = $9,828 : $27

    = 364 hours

    So, the ending direct labor cost is

    = 364 hours * $15 per hour

    = $5,460
