00:01 So a company budgets for the production of 4840 units in may.
00:12 So this is our may budget and each unit uses two hours per unit of direct labor and the variable overhead uses a rate of $14 per labor hour and then there are fixed overhead costs.
01:08 So fixed overhead equal to $74 ,400 per month.
01:19 So then if we want to make the budget for our factory overhead for may we get direct labor hours needed.
01:34 Well that is 4840 units times two hours per unit.
01:43 So that is equal to 9 ,680 hours...
