Question

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 below:

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,200 units of B300 at a price of $19 per unit and 12,700 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:

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $60,000 and $101,000 of the company’s advertising expenses could be directly traced to B300 and T500, respectively. 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:


Activity

Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system. (Round your intermediate calculations to 2 decimal places and final answer to the nearest whole dollars.)

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.)

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) and other answers to nearest whole dollar amounts.)

Calculation of Activity base system:

= Indirect labour or Over heads / Direct labour

B300 = $493,220 / $364,983

          = 1.35
