May cash disbursement is $102,870

Explanation:

May cash disbursement for manufacturing overhead is the planned cash expenditure based on the budgeted manufacturing overhead for the month.

Cash would be paid to labor at $1.40 for every direct labor incurred for a total number of 8,100 direct labor hours i. e $11,340 cash in all ($1.40*8100)

Also, company budgeted fixed manufacturing overhead would also require $91,530 in cash, which is the budgeted manufacturing fixed overhead of $100,440 minus the depreciation charge included in it ($100,440-$91530)

In total cash disbursement is $102,870 ($11,340+$91,530)
