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 produced and sold 60,000 units of B300 at a price of $20 per unit and 12,800 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:

The company has created an activity-based costing system to evaluate the profitability of its products. Hi-Tek’s ABC implementation team concluded that $52,000 and $109,000 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:

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.

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 answers to the nearest whole dollar amount.)

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" answers to 1 decimal place and and other answers to the nearest whole dollar amounts.)

Required

Using the weighted-average method, calculate the following:

1-a. Costs per equivalent unit. (Round your answers to 4 decimal places.)

1-b. Cost of goods completed and transferred out. (Round "Cost per EU" to 4 decimal places. Round final answer to nearest whole dollars.)

1-c. Costs remaining in the Work-in-Process Inventory account. (Round "Cost per EU" to 4 decimal places. Do not round other intermediate calculations. Round final answer to nearest whole dollars.)

2. Assume that you are the company’s controller. The production department’s June equivalent unit cost is higher than expected. If the manager of the first department asks you to do him a favor by increasing the ending inventory completion percentage from 20 to 40% to lower the unit costs, how much would unit cost be affected by this request? (Round your answer to 4 decimal places.)
