Complete the companys direct labor budget for the upcoming fiscal year, assuming that the direct labor workforce is not adjusted each quarter. Instead, assume that the companys direct labor workforce consists of permanent employees who are guaranteed to be paid for at least 2,400 hours of work each quarter. If the number of required direct labor-hours is less than this number, the workers are paid for 2,400 hours anyway. Any hours worked in excess of 2,400 hours in a quarter are paid at the rate of 1.5 times the normal hourly rate for direct labor. (Input all amounts as positive values.)
