Problem 7-16 Comparing Traditional and Activity-Based Product Margins [LO7-1, LO7-3, LO7-4, LO7-5] 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 1,749,600 1,233,208 516,392 590,000 (73,608) Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses Net operating loss Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,100 units of B300 at a price of $21 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 T500 Total $ 400,000 $ 120,400 163,000 $ $42,400 Direct materials 563,000 162,800 Direct labor Manufacturing overhead 507,408 Cost of goods sold 1,233,208 The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek's ABC implementation team concluded that $52,000 and $106,000 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 Manufacturing Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) Machining (machine-hours) Setups (setup hours) Product-sustaining (number of products) Other (organization-sustaining costs) Overhead B300 T500 Total 208,488 136,920 101,200 90,600 62,700 153,300 76 250 326 1 1 60,800 NA NA NA 507,408 Total manufacturing overhead cost Required: 1.
