Answer

Activity-based costing differs from traditional costing systems in a number of ways. In activity-based costing, non-manufacturing as well as manufacturing costs may be assigned to products. And, some manufacturing costs, including the costs of idle capacity, may be excluded from product costs. An activity-based costing system typically includes a number of activity cost pools, each of which has its unique measure of activity. These measures of activity often differ from the allocation bases used in traditional costing systems.
