Final answer:

To find the total manufacturing cost for 80 drills, you sum the costs of materials, labor, and rent space. The total materials cost is $5,680, the total labor cost is $2,800, and the rent cost is $6,000, adding up to $14,480, which does not match any of the provided options.

Step-by-step explanation:

The student is asking about the total cost of manufacturing drills, taking into account the rental space cost, material cost per drill, and labor cost per drill. The manufacturing space is rented at $6,000 per month. Each drill requires $71 worth of materials and $35 worth of labor. To find the total cost for producing 80 drills, you need to calculate the sum of the space rental cost, the total materials cost for 80 drills, and the total labor cost for 80 drills.

First, calculate the total materials cost: 80 drills × $71 = $5,680. Next, calculate the total labor cost: 80 drills × $35 = $2,800. Then, add the space rental cost, which is constant: $6,000. Adding all these costs together gives us $5,680 (materials) + $2,800 (labor) + $6,000 (rent) = $14,480.

However, we need to find which of the given options (A, B, C, or D) matches our calculation. None of the provided options matches the calculated total cost of $14,480. Therefore, there might be an error in the question or the provided options.
