#### Overview
In its first year of operations, a company produced and sold 70,000 units of Product A at a selling price of $20 per unit and 17,500 units of Product B at a selling price of $40 per unit. Additional information related to the company's only two products is shown below:
#### Cost Information
| Category | Product A | Product B | Total |
|--------------------------|-----------|-----------|----------|
| Direct materials | $436,300 | $249,500 | $685,800 |
| Direct labor | $200,000 | $104,000 | $304,000 |
| Manufacturing overhead | $608,000 |
| **Cost of goods sold** | **$1,597,800** |
#### Activity-Based Costing System
The company created an activity-based costing system that allocated its manufacturing overhead costs to four activities as follows:
| Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) | Overhead | Product A | Product B | Total |
|-------------------------------------------|----------|-----------|-----------|----------|
| Machining (machine-hours) | $213,500 | 90,000 | 62,500 | 152,500 |
| Setups (setup hours) | $157,500 | 75 | 300 | 375 |
| Product design (number of products) | $120,000 | 1 | 1 | 2 |
| Other (organization-sustaining costs) | $117,000 | NA | NA | NA |
| **Total manufacturing overhead cost** | **$608,000** |
#### Analysis
The company's ABC (Activity-Based Costing) implementation team also concluded that $50,000 and $100,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to Product A and Product B, respectively. The remainder of its selling and administrative expenses ($400,000) was organization-sustaining in nature.
#### Question
If the company uses a traditional cost system that relies on plant-wide overhead allocation based on direct labor dollars, what is the total gross margin (or product margin) earned by Product B?
