Total Manufacturing costs = $ 78500
Calculation
Total Manufacturing Costs
= Direct Material + Direct Labour + Manufacturing Overheads
= Direct Material + Direct Labour + (factory supervisor salary + depreciation factory building + indirect material)
= 53750 + 12000 + ( 8000 + 3500 + 1250)
= 53750 + 12000+12750
= $ 78500
Thus the correct answer is $ 78500
