Slide # 3
Q1: Activity-Based Costing (ABC)
ABC is a method of cost system refinement.
Indirect costs are divided into “sub-pools” of costs of activities.
Activity costs are then allocated to the final cost objects using a cost allocation base (more commonly called cost drivers in ABC).
Activities are measurable, making it more likely that cost drivers can be found so that a final cost object will absorb indirect costs in proportion to its use of the activity.
The first bullet is automated.
One click is required for each remaining bullet.

Direct Costs
Direct costs are traced to the individual products.
The individual products are the final cost objects.
Indirect costs are grouped into one (or a small number) of cost pools; a cost allocation base assigns costs to the individual products
The yellow cost object group is animated.
The first click starts the sequence to show direct cost assignment to the products.
The second click begins the sequence to show indirect cost assignment to the products.

Q2: What are Activities and How are They Identified?
The ABC cost hierarchy includes the following activities:
organization-sustaining – associated with overall organization
facility-sustaining – associated with single manufacturing plant or service facility
customer-sustaining – associated with a single customer
product-sustaining – associated with product lien or single product
batch-level – associated with each batch of product
unit-level – associated with each unit produced

Q2: ABC Cost Hierarchy Example
Some of the costs incurred by the Dewey Chargem law firm are listed below. This firm specializes in immigration issues and family law. For each cost, identify whether the cost most likely relates to a(n) (1) organiz-ation-sustaining, (2) facility-sustaining, (3) customer-sustaining, (4) product-sustaining, (5) batch-level, or (6) unit-level activity and explain your choice.
This slide is entirely automated – no clicks are required.
No solutions are provided because the problem is meant to generate discussion. The answer for almost every cost is “it depends”. Refer to problem 7.15 in the text and its related solutions as this problem is very similar.

Q3: How Are Cost Drivers Selected for Activities?
For each activity, determine its place in the ABC cost hierarchy.
Look for drivers that have a good cause-and-effect relationship with the activities’ costs.
Use a reasonable driver when there is no cause-and-effect relationship.

Q3: ABC in Manufacturing Example
Alphabet Co. makes products A & B. Product A is a low-volume specialty item and B is a high-volume item. Estimated factory- wide overhead is $800,000, and the number of DL hours for the year is estimated to be 50,000 hours. DL costs are $10/hour. Each product uses 2 DL hours. Compute the traditional cost of each product if Products A & B use $25 and $10 in direct materials, respectively.
First, compute the estimated overhead rate:
Estimated overhead rate = $800,000/50,000 hours = $16/hour.
Product A Product B
Direct materials $25 $10
Direct labor (2hrs @ $10) 20 20
Overhead (2 hrs @ $16) 32 32
$77 $62
The given information is automated.
The first click brings in the “First, compute..” text, which disappears on the next mouse click.
The second click brings in the computation of the estimated overhead rate.
The third click brings in the computation of the cost of the 2 products.

Q3: ABC in Manufacturing Example
Compute the total cost of each product and compare it to the costs computed under traditional costing.
Traditional costing assigned $77 to a unit of Product A and $62 to a unit of Product B.
The only difference between the two costing systems is that Product A is assigned more overhead costs under ABC.
The additional overhead assigned to Product A reflects Product A’s consumption of resources.

Q5: What are GPK and RCA?
Costing approaches similar to ABC because they involve multiple pools and multiple drivers
GPK can be described as marginal planning and cost accounting
Each cost is traced to a cost center (smaller than a department) which performs a single repetitive activity, and is the responsibility of one manager)
Output measures tracks the volume of resource use
Costs are segregated into proportional (change with volume in resource use) and fixed
Practical capacity is used for estimated allocation rate volumes

Q5: Capacity Definitions
Theoretical capacity – maximum assuming continuous, uninterrupted operations 365 days/year
Practical capacity – typical operating conditions
Budgeted capacity – expected volume for the upcoming time period
Idle/excess capacity – difference between activity capacity used and one of the above measures of capacity

Slide # 23

Resource Consumption Accounting (RCA)
Builds on GPK and ABC principles
Each cost is assigned to a resource cost pool
Labor and machinery are often placed in different cost pools since they are different types of resources
RCA involves a significantly larger number of cost pools than traditional accounting
Like GPK, segregates proportional and fixed costs
Utilizes theoretical rather than practical capacity for allocating fixed costs
More likely to focus manager attention on reducing idle and non-productive resource time

Q5: Benefits/Drawbacks to GPK/RCA
Benefits
Generates multi-level internal income statements useful for short terms decisions because it focuses on marginal cost
Increases cause & effect awareness among managers
Categorizes costs (and generates profit margin) at the product, product group, division, and company level
Avoids arbitrary allocations of fixed costs
Drawbacks
Can be costly to implement
Can result in a large number of variances to analyze
