16,300 Direct Labor Hours

Explanation:

Evening Star Inc. produces two models.

The field model requires eight (8) direct-labor hours.

The professional binoculars require ten (10) direct-labor hours.

In May,

Number of field binocular manufactured=850

Number of professional binocular manufactured=950

Therefore:

Standard Hour for 850 field model = 850 X 8 = 6800 Hours Standard Hour for 950 professional model = 950 X 10 = 9500 Hours

Total Standard Hours allowed in May = 6800+9500

=16300 Direct Labor Hours
