Supporting direct labor (direct labor-hours)	$	791,700	39,100	74,000	113,100
Batch setups (setups)		1,062,000	340	250	590
Product sustaining (number of products)		790,000	1	1	2
Other		70,700	NA	NA	NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost	$	2,714,400

Compute the product margins for the Xtreme and the Pathfinder products under the activity-based costing system. (Negative customer margins should be indicated with a minus sign. Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places.)

3.	Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments. (Do not round intermediate calculations. Round your "Percentage" answer to 1 decimal place. (i.e. .1234 should be entered as 12.3))
