Mamata Inc., a manufacturing company of drugs, is considering switching from its traditional cost method to a newly implemented system by their production head. It is activity-based costing so that the two products, Z serum, and W serum, can be sold at their reasonable cost and make them price competitive in the market.

 Below are the production details that have been derived from the production sheet.
