produces several types of pickled vegetables. The company budgets for each quarter in the last month of the previous quarter. In early March, Karen is preparing the budget for pickled beets. Budgeted sales are 13200 jars for April, 16500 jars for May, and 21000 jars for June. Each jar requires 1.3 pounds of beets. The pickling process takes 60 minutes for 20 jars. Because pressurized cooking is used, the processing is monitored by an employee at all times. Each jar of pickled beets sells for $15.00.

Karen requires ending Finished Goods inventory equal to 30% of the following month’s sales. Other information is as follows:

Standard direct labor rate

 $12.00 per hour

Manufacturing overhead rate

 45.00 per direct labor hour

Price of beets

 6.00 per pound

Price of jars, 100-lot

 150.00 per lot


What is Karen’s direct labor budget for May?
