Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., makes two types of industrial component partsthe B300 and the T500. An absorption costing income statement for the most recent period is shown:

Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc. Income Statement
Sales $ 1,710,000
Cost of goods sold 1,230,814
Gross margin 479,186
Selling and administrative expenses 580,000
Net operating loss $ (100,814 )

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,100 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,700 units of T500 at a price of $40 per unit. The companys 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 companys two product lines is shown below:

B300 T500 Total
Direct materials $ 400,500 $ 162,700 $ 563,200
Direct labor $ 120,400 $ 42,400 162,800
Manufacturing overhead 504,814
Cost of goods sold $ 1,230,814

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Teks ABC implementation team concluded that $58,000 and $109,000 of the companys 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 companys manufacturing overhead to four activities as shown below:

Product-sustaining (number of products) 101,000 1 1 2
