Lionel Inc manufactures two products, Product A and Product B. Product B is of recent origin having been a recent addition to the product line to satisfy the demands of the more sophisticated consumer. It is also a more complex product requiring two (2) hours of direct labor time per unit to manufacture in comparison to the one (1) unit required for product A.
The overhead is allocated to the products on the basis of direct labor hours when the traditional costing system is used. The estimated total overhead cost is $ 450,000 and it is expected that 7,500 units of product B will be produced and 30,000 units of product A during the current year. Unit cost for the direct cost is given below:

The selling price for the product is calculated at 150% of manufacturing cost.
Required
1. Compute the predetermined overhead rates under the traditional costing system and determine the total production cost for each product as well as the expected selling price.
2. Compute the ABC overhead cost for each product and determine the total production cost for each product and the expected selling price.
3. Discuss the effect to the organization of changing the costing method.
