Final Answer :
B
Explanation :
Fixed Manufacturing Overhead = $54,080 per month
Depreciation = $3,840 per month
Total Fixed Manufacturing Overhead excluding depreciation = $54,080 - $3,840 = $50,240 per month

Therefore, the total manufacturing overhead budget for October is calculated as follows:
Total Manufacturing Overhead = Variable Manufacturing Overhead + Fixed Manufacturing Overhead
Total Manufacturing Overhead = ($4.60 per DLH x 3,200 DLH) + $50,240
Total Manufacturing Overhead = $14,720 + $50,240
Total Manufacturing Overhead = $64,960

Hence, the cash disbursement for manufacturing overhead in October will be $64,960, which is option B.
