Can you help me solve this general accounting problem with the correct methodology?

Vistar Manufacturing bases its manufacturing overhead budget on budgeted direct labor-hours. The direct labor budget indicates that 8,200 direct labor-hours will be required in July. The variable overhead rate is $4.85 per direct labor-hour. The company's budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead is $125,000 per month, which includes depreciation of $10,500. All other fixed manufacturing overhead costs represent current cash flows. What should be the July cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead on the manufacturing overhead budget? Answer

Vincent Manufacturing charges $75 per hour for labor and has a 35% material loading charge. A recent job required 24 hours and $2,200 of materials. Calculate the total cost of the job.
