Activity Based Costing (ABC)
The objective of activity-based costing is to understand overhead and the profitability of products and customers.
ABC is a
good supplement to our traditional cost system
I agree!
Overhead rates may

Activity Based Costing (ABC)
Activity-Based Costing
Both manufacturing
and nonmanufacturing
costs may be
assigned to
products.
Some manufacturing
costs may be excluded
from product
costs.
There are a number
of cost pools each of which is allocated
using a unique
measure of activity.
Allocation bases often
differ from
traditional costing
systems.

as the overhead allocation base.
A two stage process is
necessary because costs are allocated to departments and then to products.
