The document compares traditional costing and activity-based costing methods for calculating production costs across three products - Romeo, Juliet, Baby Doll, and Big Jumbo. Under traditional costing, costs are allocated based on direct labor hours or unit production quantities. Activity-based costing assigns overhead costs based on cost drivers like set-up activities, maintenance, and inspection. For all products, activity-based costing results in more accurate allocation of overhead costs and better estimation of actual unit production costs.
