The correct answer is C.

Explanation:

Giving the following information:

Each skirt (unit) requires 2.2 yards of cloth.

Budgeted production (in units)

September= 14,900

Each unit requires 0.9 hours of direct labor, and the average hourly cost of Tracie's direct labor is $19.

To calculate the total cost of direct labor, first, we need to calculate the total number of hours required:

Total hours= 14,900*0.9= 13,410 hours

Now, we can calculate the total cost:

Total direct labor cost= 13,410*19= $254,790
