for the most recent period is shown below:

$ (198,228)
Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,200 units of B300 at a price of $19 per unit and 12,500 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:

The company created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek's ABC implementation team
concluded that $57,000 and $102,000 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:
