The estimated direct labor cost for February is closest to D) $658,996.

Explanation:

Estimated direct labor cost for February =

Production units in February  × Direct labor hours for each finished goods unit × Direct labor wage rate per hour

Ef  = 11020 units × 2.6 labor hours per unit ×$23 per direct labor hour

Ff= $658,996

Also

Where Production units in February = February sales units + Ending finished goods units - Beginning finished goods units

Pf = 10600 units + (12000 units*30%) - (10600 units*30%)

Pf = 10600 units+3600 units-3180 units

Pf  = 11020 units
