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 Overhead			Activity
Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure)				B300	T500	Total
Machining (machine-hours)	$	198,510		90,100	62,600	152,700
Setups (setup hours)		149,520		76	280	356

Other (organization-sustaining costs)		60,600		NA	NA	NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost	$	509,630

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.

Question 1:

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			$0

Question 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			$0

Question 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.)
