Activity Based Costing System Activity Based Costing System (ABC)(ABC)

ABC systems follow a two-stage two-stage procedure to assign overhead costs to products.

Stage OneIdentify significant activities and assign overhead costs to each activity in proportion to resources used.

Stage TwoIdentify cost drivers appropriate to each activity and allocate overhead to the products.

Two Key PointsTwo Key Points

A large proportion of non-unit-level activities A unit-level cost driver, such as direct labor, machine hours, or throughput, will not be able to assign the costs of non-unit-level activities accurately.

A large proportion of non-unit-level activities A unit-level cost driver, such as direct labor, machine hours, or throughput, will not be able to assign the costs of non-unit-level activities accurately.

Product diversity When the consumption ratios differ widely between activities, no single cost driver will accurately assign the resulting overhead costs.

COLLECTING ABC DATACOLLECTING ABC DATA

INTERVIEWS AND PAPER TRAILS - The information for ABC systems initially comes from interviews with employees in the support departments and a review of each department’s records.

STORYBOARDING - A procedure used to develop a detailed process flow chart, which visually represents activities and the relationships among activities.

MULTIDISCIPLINARY ABC PROJECT TEAMS – To gather information from all facets of an organizations operations, it is essential to involve personnel from a variety of functional areas. A typical ABC project team includes ACCOUNTING, FINANCE, PRODUCTION, OPERATIONS, ENGINEERS, MARKETING etc.
