Problem 7-16 Comparing Traditional and Activity-Based Product Margins [LO7-1, LO7-3, LO7-4, LO7-5) Hi-Tek Manufacturing, Inc., 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 Manufacturing Inc Income Statement Sales Cost of goods sold Gross margin Selling and administrative expenses Net operating loss 1,706,000 1,219,164 486,836 560,000 $(73,164) Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,100 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,600 units of T500 at a price of $40 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: B300 T500 Total Direct materials Direct labor Manufacturing overhead Cost of goods sold 400,000 162,300 562,300 162,400 194,464 120,100 42,300 1,219,164 The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products.

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: Manufacturing Overhead Activit T500 Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) Machining (machine-hours) Setups (setup hours) Product-sustaining (number of products) other (organization-sustaining costs) B300 199,644 90,100 62,300 152,400 73 133, 320 100, 800 60,700 230 303 NA NA NA. Total manufacturing overhead cost 494,464 Requirec 1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company's 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
