Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component parts-the B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown: Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc. Income Statement Sales Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses Net operating loss $ 1,633,200 1,227, 396 405,804 590,000 $ (184, 196) Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,300 units of B300 at a price of $19 per unit and 12,500 units of T500 at a price of $39 per unit. The company's 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 company's two product lines is shown below: B300 $ 400,700 $ 120,600 T500 $ 162,500 $ 42,300 Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Cost of goods sold Total $ 563,200 162,900 501, 296 $ 1,227,396 The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek's ABC implementation team concluded that $57,000 and $104,000 of the company's 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 company's manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below: Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) Machining (machine-hours) Setups (setup hours) Product-sustaining (number of products) Other (organization-sustaining costs) Total manufacturing overhead cost Manufacturing Overhead $ 202,356 137, 340 101,600 60,000 $ 501,296 Activity B300 T500 Total 90,900 62,400 153,300 77 250 327 1 1 2 NA NA NA Required: 1.
