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 $1,695,500 Cost of goods sold 1,250,076 Gross margin 445,424 Selling and administrative expenses 640,000 Net operating loss $ (194,576) Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,400 units of B300 at a price of $20 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: Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Cost of goods sold 8300 T500 Total $ 400,900 $ 162,100 $ 563,000 $ 120,300 $ 42,500 162,800 524,276 $1,250,076 The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek's ABC implementation team concluded that $56,000 and $106,000 of the company's advertising expenses could be directly traced to 1300 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.
