*4 x10000 units

Variable cost per Unit remains same but it will increase in total when there is any increase in number of units produced and Vice versa.

On the other hand Fixed cost per unit changes according to activity level. Since Fixed cost in totality remains same, when number of units produced increase fixed cost per unit decrease and when number of Units produced decrease fixed cost per unit Increase.

Final Answers

Total Manufacturing Overhead cost -----$58,750
