1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the companys traditional costing system.

	B300	T500	Total
Product margin

2. Compute the product margins for B300 and T500 under the activity-based costing system. (Negative product margins should be indicated by a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

	B300	T500	Total
Product margin

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and "Percentage" answer to 1 decimal place. (i.e. .1234 should be entered as 12.3))

Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and "Percentage" answers to 1 decimal place and and other answers to the nearest whole dollar amounts.)
