Answer:

$1,068,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total manufacturing overhead cost should be

Total variable manufacturing overhead for 50,000 machine hours is

= Indirect labor + Machine supplies +Indirect materials

= 630,000+90,000+120,000

= $840,000

Now

Variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour is

= Total variable manufacturing overhead cost ÷ Number of machine hours

= $840,000 ÷ 50,000

= $16.80

And,

Total variable manufacturing overhead for 60,000 machine hours

= Variable manufacturing overhead per machine hour × 60,000

= $16.80 × 60,000

= $1,008,000

Now the total manufacturing overhead cost should be

= 1,008,000 + 60,000

= $1,068,000
