Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,400 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,800 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	$	400,100	$	162,900	$	563,000
Direct labor	$	120,700	$	42,100		162,800
Manufacturing overhead						521,836

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:

	Manufacturing		Activity
