Total fixed cost = Fixed cost per unit × Units produced

Total fixed cost of Department I = 25×10,000 = $250,000

Total fixed cost of Department II = 18×10,000 = $180,000

Variable manufacturing overhead per unit of Department II in January = 6+15%×6 = 6+0.9 = $6.90

Total Variable manufacturing overhead = Variable manufacturing overhead per unit × Units produced

Total Variable manufacturing overhead of Department I = 8×12,000 = $96,000

Total Variable manufacturing overhead of Department II = 6.90×12,000 = $82,800
