Question

Required

1. Compute the product margins for the B300 and T500 under the company’s traditional costing system. (Do not round your overhead rate. Round your other intermediate and final answers to the nearest whole number.)

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.)

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

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