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

Cost of goods sold		1,253,994
Gross margin		501,306
Selling and administrative expenses		610,000

Hi-Tek produced and sold 60,000 units of B300 at a price of $21 per unit and 12,700 units of T500 at a price of $39 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

Manufacturing overhead						528,394

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $51,000 and $104,000 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:

	Manufacturing Overhead	Activity
Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure)	B300	T500	Total
Machining (machine-hours)	$	208,624		91,000	62,400	153,400
Setups (setup hours)		158,670		79	290	369
Product-sustaining (number of products)		100,800		1	1	2
Other (organization-sustaining costs)		60,300		NA	NA	NA
Total manufacturing overhead cost	$	528,394

Required:

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.
