Calculation to determine the total manufacturing overhead costs

First step is to calculate the Variable overhead

Variable overhead= $720,000 + $180,000 +$150,000

Variable overhead=$1,050,000

Second step is to calculate Unitary variable overhead

Unitary variable overhead= $1,050,000/50,000

Unitary variable overhead= 21

Now let calculate the total manufacturing overhead costs

For 60,000 units:

Total Manufacturing Overhead Costs = 21*60,000 + 90,000

Total Manufacturing Overhead Costs= $1,350,000

Therefore the total manufacturing overhead costs is $1,350,000

This is due to the fact that if the network does not tell the public the details of the product deals or even that they are being sponsored, then a consumer might buy the product under the impression that it is a good product when in fact, the network is up-selling it. Therefore it is a form of false advertising.
