Answer:

$57,400

Explanation:

The computation of the estimated total manufacturing overhead for the Customizing Department is shown below:

= Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + Direct labor-hours × Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour

= $35,000 + 7,000 direct labor hours × $3.20

= $35,000 + $22,400

= $57,400
