Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Calculate Total Variable Manufacturing Overhead
The total variable manufacturing overhead cost when producing \( 10,200 \) units is calculated as follows:
Step 2: Calculate Total Fixed Manufacturing Overhead
The total fixed manufacturing overhead cost remains constant within the relevant range. It is calculated based on the average fixed cost per unit at the production level of \( 12,500 \) units:
