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.

Cost of goods sold   1,232,464  
Gross margin   466,836  
Selling and administrative expenses   630,000  
Net operating loss $ (163,164 )
 

 

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,200 units of B300 at a price of $20 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 labor $ 120,900 $ 42,800   163,700
Manufacturing overhead           504,964
Cost of goods sold         $ 1,232,464
 

 

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products.

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:
