### Direct Labor Cost Budget Preparation

**Context:**
This section explains how to prepare a May direct labor cost budget for four sewing operations at Blue Pants & Co. The budget is based on the following wage rates: $10.00 per hour for inseam and outerseam operations, and $18.00 per hour for pocket and zipper operations.

**Budget Table:**

**BLUE PANTS & CO.**

**Direct Labor Cost Budget**  
**May (Assumed Data)**

| Operations        | Inseam (minutes) | Outerseam (minutes) | Pockets (minutes) | Zipper (minutes) | Total |
|-------------------|------------------|---------------------|-------------------|------------------|-------|
| **Blue Easy**     |                  |                     |                   |                  |       |
| **Tracy Jeans**   |                  |                     |                   |                  |       |
| **Total minutes** |                  |                     |                   |                  |       |
| **Total direct labor hours** |      |                     |                   |                  |       |
| **Direct labor rate** |  $10.00       |  $10.00             |  $18.00           |  $18.00          |       |
| **Total direct labor cost** |        |                     |                   |                  |       |

**Instructions:**

1. **Calculate Minutes:**
   - For each product (Blue Easy and Tracy Jeans), input the time in minutes required for each of the four operations: inseam, outerseam, pockets, and zipper.

2. **Aggregate Minutes:**
   - Sum the minutes for each operation across the two products to find the "Total minutes."

3. **Convert Minutes to Hours:**
   - Divide the "Total minutes" by 60 to determine the "Total direct labor hours."

4. **Labor Cost Calculation:**
   - Apply the respective direct labor rate to calculate the total cost for each operation. 
   - Multiply the "Total direct labor hours" by the direct labor rate to determine the "Total direct labor cost."

This budget helps in effective cost planning and decision-making for labor expenses in the sewing operations of Blue Pants & Co.
