Solution Steps

Step 1: Calculate Total Variable Manufacturing Overhead

The total variable manufacturing overhead cost when producing \( 10,200 \) units is calculated as follows:

\[ \text{Total Variable Manufacturing Overhead} = \text{Variable Cost per Unit} \times \text{Units Produced} = 7.90 \times 10,200 = 80,580 \]

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:

\[ \text{Total Fixed Manufacturing Overhead} = \text{Fixed Cost per Unit} \times \text{Units at 12,500} = 1.95 \times 12,500 = 24,375 \]

Step 3: Calculate Total Manufacturing Overhead

The total manufacturing overhead cost is the sum of the total variable and total fixed manufacturing overhead costs:

\[ \text{Total Manufacturing Overhead} = \text{Total Variable Manufacturing Overhead} + \text{Total Fixed Manufacturing Overhead} = 80,580 + 24,375 = 104,955 \]

Final Answer

The total amount of manufacturing overhead cost when \( 10,200 \) units are produced is

\[ \boxed{104,955} \]
