    The correct answer for quarter 1 is $120,000, for quarter 2 is $168,000 and for 6 months is $288,000.

    Explanation:

    According to the scenario, computation of the given data are as follows:

    Direct labor cost for Quarter 1 = Total Required Direct Labor Hours * Direct Labor Wage

    Where, Total Required Direct Labor Hours = 5,000 * 1.6 hours = 8,000 hours

    So, Direct labor budget for Quarter 1 = 8,000 * $15 = $120,000

    Direct labor budget for Quarter 2 = Total Required Direct Labor Hours * Direct Labor Wage

    Where, Total Required Direct Labor Hours = 7,000 * 1.6 hours = 11,200 hours

    So, Direct labor budget for Quarter 2 = 11,200 * $15 = $168,000

    So, Direct labor budget for 6 months = Direct labor budget for Quarter 1 + Direct labor budget for Quarter 2

    = $120,000 + $168,000

    = $288,000.
