Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,100 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,800 units of T500 at a price of $40 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.

Setups (setup hours)	123,900	75	220	295
Product-sustaining (number of products)	101,600	1	1	2
Other (organization-sustaining costs)	60,000	NA	NA	NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost	$ 498,031
