Leon Inc. produces and sells three different models of stylish
men’s coats-Low, Moderate, and High. The company currently
uses a traditional absorption costing system to allocate
manufacturing overhead costs to product lines. This
traditional costing system allocates manufacturing overhead cost on
the basis of each product’s direct labor costs in dollars.
But the company’s CEO, Leon, recently attended a conference on
Activity Based Costing (ABC), and he’s considering ABC
implementation.
Leon collected the following product data for the year just
ended:

The direct materials cost for the year just ended for units of
