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

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,400 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,600 units of T500 at a price of $40 per unit.
