Compute the product margins for the Xtreme and the Pathfinder products under the activity-based costing system. (Negative amount should be indicated by a minus sign. Do not round your intermediate calculations. Omit the “$” sign in your response.)
Xtreme
Product margin – ?
Pathfinder
Product margin -?
Requirement 3:
Prepare a quantitative comparison of the traditional and activity-based cost assignments. (Do not round your intermediate calculations. Round your predetermined overhead rate to 2 decimal places. Round your percentage values to 1 decimal places and round all other values to the nearest whole number. Omit the “$” & “%” signs in your response.)
