**Problem Statement:**

For the circuit below, determine the currents \( I_{R1} \) and \( I_{R2} \) and the power absorbed by each resistor. (Provide your calculations and reasoning for your answer.)

**Given:**

- \( I_{S1} = 54 \, \text{mA} \)
- \( I_{S2} = 10 \, \text{mA} \)
- \( R_1 = 1.5 \, \text{k}\Omega \)
- \( R_2 = 500 \, \Omega \)

**Circuit Description:**

The circuit consists of two current sources, \( I_{S1} \) and \( I_{S2} \), connected to a network with two resistors, \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \). 

- \( I_{S1} \), a 54 mA current source, is on the left side of the circuit.
- \( I_{S2} \), a 10 mA current source, is on the right side.
- \( R_1 \) is placed between \( I_{S1} \) and \( I_{S2} \) with a positive voltage drop across it from left to right.
- \( R_2 \) is connected in parallel with \( R_1 \) with a positive voltage drop from left to right as well.
- \( I_{R1} \) and \( I_{R2} \) are the currents through \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) respectively, flowing from left to right.

**Objective:**

Calculate:

1. The current \( I_{R1} \) passing through resistor \( R_1 \).
2. The current \( I_{R2} \) passing through resistor \( R_2 \).
3. The power absorbed by each resistor. 

Provide detailed calculations and reasoning for each part.
