    Jan = $306 in direct labour costs

    Feb = $272 in direct labour costs

    March = $357 in direct labour costs

    Total for the quarter = $935 in direct labour costs

    Explanation:

    0.4 hours is 24 minutes

    January

    = 24 700 units / 24 minutes = 1029

    1029 minutes would be required for 24 700 units

    1029 minutes / 60 = 17.15 hours. We round up to 18 hours

    18 hours * $17 per hour = $306

    Therefore, $306 in direct labour costs in January

    February

    = 22 000 units / 24 minutes = 917

    917 minutes would be required to produce 22 000 units

    917 minutes / 60 = 15.3 hours. We round up to 16 hours

    16 hours * $17 per hour = $272

    Therefore, $272 in direct labour costs in February

    March

    = 30 200 units / 24 minutes = 1258

    1258 minutes would be required to produce 30 200 units

    1258 minutes / 60 = 20.97 hours. We round up to 21 hours

    21 hours * $17 per hour = $357

    Therefore, $357 in direct labour costs in March

    Total for the quarter = 306 + 272 + 357 = 935

    $935 in direct labour costs for the first quarter
