Explanation:

The computation of the estimated direct cost is shown below:

=  (Sales revenue - opening stock + beginning stock) × direct labor  hours × direct labor wage rate

=  ($11,100 - $4,440 + $5,040) × 2.5 hours × $19

= $11,700  × 2.5 hours × $19

= $555,750

The  opening stock = August sales × given percentage

                                = $11,100 × 40%

                                = $4,440

The closing stock  = September sales × given percentage

                                = $12,600 × 40%

                                = $5,040
