Traditional costing system: It is a method of allocation of overhead to the products. Under this method the overhead is assigned to products on the basis of a pre-determined overhead allocation rate. Under this method all the overheads incurred are considered as a single cost pool and a single cost driver is used to allocate the overheads. Activity based costing system: It is precise method of allocation of overhead to the products. Under this method the overhead costs are assigned to the activities concerned and then they are allocated to cost objects which use such activities.In case of multiple sub-parts only first 3 sub-parts will be answered.
