Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc. makes two types of industrial component partsthe B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown below:

Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc. Income Statement
Sales $ 1,753,800
Cost of goods sold 1,210,828
Gross margin 542,972
Selling and administrative expenses 640,000
Net operating loss $ (97,028)

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,300 units of B300 at a price of $21 per unit and 12,500 units of T500 at a price of $39 per unit. The companys traditional cost system allocates manufacturing overhead to products using a plantwide overhead rate and direct labor dollars as the allocation base. Additional information relating to the companys two product lines is shown below:

B300 T500 Total
Direct materials $ 401,000 $ 163,000 $ 564,000
Direct labor $ 120,700 $ 42,900 163,600
Manufacturing overhead 483,228
Cost of goods sold $ 1,210,828

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Teks ABC implementation team concluded that $56,000 and $107,000 of the companys advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. The remainder of the selling and administrative expenses was organization-sustaining in nature. The ABC team also distributed the companys manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:
