The manufacturing division of an electronics company uses activity-based costing.The company has identified three activities and the related cost drivers for indirect production costs.
 Activity  Cost Driver  Activity 1  Direct materials cost  Activity 2  Direct labor cost  Activity 3  Kilowatt hours \begin{array}{ll}\text { Activity }&\text { Cost Driver }\\\text { Activity 1 } & \text { Direct materials cost } \\\text { Activity 2 } & \text { Direct labor cost } \\\text { Activity 3 } & \text { Kilowatt hours }\end{array}
Three types of products are produced.Direct costs and cost-driver activity for each product for a month are as follows:
 Product A  Product B  Product C  Direct materials cost $75,000$50,000$125,000 Direct labor cost $6,000$1,000$3,000 Direct labor hours 2,0001,0002,000 Kilowatt hours 150,000200,000150,000\begin{array}{llll}&\text { Product A }&\text { Product B }&\text { Product C }\\\text { Direct materials cost } & \$ 75,000 & \$ 50,000 & \$ 125,000 \\\text { Direct labor cost } & \$ 6,000 & \$ 1,000 & \$ 3,000 \\\text { Direct labor hours } & 2,000 & 1,000 & 2,000 \\\text { Kilowatt hours } & 150,000 & 200,000 & 150,000\end{array}
Indirect production costs for the month are as follows:
 Activity 1 $30,000 Activity 220,000 Activity 3 16,000 Total $66,000\begin{array}{ll}\text { Activity 1 } & \$ 30,000 \\\text { Activity } 2 & 20,000 \\\text { Activity 3 } & {16,000} \\\text { Total } &{\$ 66,000}\end{array}
Required:
A) Compute the indirect production costs allocated to each product using the ABC system.
B) Compute the indirect production costs allocated to each product using a traditional costing system. Assume indirect production costs are allocated to each product using the cost driver: direct labor hours.
