Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Incorporated, 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 Incorporated
Income Statement
Sales $ 1,637,200
Cost of goods sold 1,230,044
Gross margin 407,156
Selling and administrative expenses 610,000
Net operating loss $ (202,844)

 

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,100 units of B300 at a price of $19 per unit and 12,700 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
Direct materials $ 400,800 $ 162,200 $ 563,000
Direct labor $ 120,100 $ 42,500 162,600
Manufacturing overhead     504,444
Cost of goods sold     $ 1,230,044

 

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $50,000 and $108,000 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:

Machining (machine-hours) $ 202,884 91,000 62,700 153,700
Setups (setup hours) 139,860 73 260 333
Product-sustaining (number of products) 101,400 1 1 2
Other (organization-sustaining costs) 60,300 NA NA NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 504,444
