Calculation of estimated total manufacturing overhead
Estimated total variable manufacturing overhead (A) $802,500
Estimated total fixed manufacturing overhead (B) $1,237,500
Estimated total manufacturing overhead (C = A + B) $2,040,000

Note:
Estimated total variable manufacturing overhead = Estimated labor-hours * Rate per hour = 75,000 * $10.70 = $802,500
