Hello! I'm facing troubles solving question #3 : (thanks in advance!) 

 

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 Manufacturing Inc.
Income Statement
  Sales $ 2,100,000
  Cost of goods sold   1,600,000
     
  Gross margin   500,000
  Selling and administrative expenses   550,000
     
  Net operating loss $ (50,000)
     

Hi-Tek produced and sold 70,000 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 17,500 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 $ 436,300 $ 251,700 $ 688,000
  Direct labor $ 200,000 $ 104,000   304,000
  Manufacturing overhead           608,000
             
  Cost of goods sold         $ 1,600,000
             

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek�s ABC implementation team concluded that $50,000 and $100,000 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

  Activity Cost Pool (and Activity Measure) Overhead B300 T500 Total
  Machining (machine-hours) $ 213,500     90,000   62,500 152,500  
  Setups (setup hours)   157,500     75   300   375
  Product-sustaining (number of products)   120,000     1   1 2
  Other (organization-sustaining costs)   117,000     NA NA NA
           
  Total manufacturing overhead cost $ 608,000

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.)

  B300 T500 Total

3. 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))
