Expert Solution
Step 1

Total manufacturing cost is calculated as total costs incurred in manufacturing the product. Total manufacturing cost would include raw material used cost, direct labor costs and manufacturing overhead applied to production. In this case the total cost of goods available for sale is given which would be used to calculate cost of goods manufactured. From cost of goods manufactured, the total manufacturing costs can be determined.
