Final Answer :
D
Explanation :
Total budgeted manufacturing overhead for November =
Variable manufacturing overhead rate per direct labor-hour x budgeted direct labor hours
= $1.70 x 7,000
= $11,900

Fixed manufacturing overhead (excluding depreciation) = $116,000 - $30,000 = $86,000

Total budgeted manufacturing overhead for November = Variable manufacturing overhead + Fixed manufacturing overhead
= $11,900 + $86,000
= $97,900

Therefore, the total budgeted cash disbursements for manufacturing overhead for November is $97,900.
