Question

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 below:

 

Hi-Tek Manufacturing Inc.
Income Statement
Sales $ 1,643,000  
Cost of goods sold   1,230,620  
Gross margin   412,380  
Selling and administrative expenses   620,000  
Net operating loss $ (207,620)  

 

 

Hi-Tek  produced and sold 60,200 units of B300 at a price of $19 per unit and 12,800 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 $ 400,600     $ 162,700     $ 563,300  
Direct labor $ 120,700     $ 42,900       163,600  
Manufacturing overhead                   503,720  
Cost of goods sold                 $ 1,230,620  

 

 

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $51,000 and $104,000 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:
 

  Manufacturing Activity

Setups (setup hours)   130,380       78     240     318  
Product-sustaining (number of products)   101,200       1     1     2  
Other (organization-sustaining costs)   61,000       NA     NA     NA  
Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 503,720
