Total manufacturing overhead cost	$	517,708

Required:

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

2. Compute the product margins for B300 and T500 under the activity-based costing system.

3. Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments.

Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the companys traditional costing system. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

	B300	T500	Total
Product margin
