Expert Solution
Step 1

Manufacturing overhead: Manufacturing costs are those costs that cannot be attributed to the units produced. These are the indirect costs that have to be apportioned to the number of units produced. The variable element of manufacturing cost depends on the production units, whereas, the fixed element of manufacturing overhead is independent of the number of units produced.
