    d. $73,500

    Explanation:

    The computation of the estimated total manufacturing overhead for the customizing department is shown below:

    = Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost + Variable manufacturing overhead cost

    where,

    the variable manufacturing overhead cost = Customized Direct labor-hours * Variable manufacturing overhead per direct labor-hour

    = 7,000 units * $5

    = $35,000

    And, the Total fixed manufacturing overhead cost is $38,500

    Now put these values to the above formula

    So, the answer would be equal to

    = $38,500 + ($7,000 hours * $5 per hour)

    = $38,500 + $35,000

    = $73,500
