Activity-Based Costing (ABC)
Lecture 23
Chapter 9
Overview:
1. Explain how a two stage product costing system works.
2. Compare and contrast plantwide and department allocation methods.
3. Explain how activity-based costing and a two-stage product system are related.
4. Compute product costs using activity-based costing.
5. Compare activity-based product costing to traditional department product costing methods.
6. Demonstrate the flow of costs through accounts using activity- based costing.
7. Apply activity-based costing to marketing and administrative services.

ABC in Administration
1. Identify the activities that consume resources.
2. Identify the cost driver associated with each activity.
3. Compute a cost rate per cost driver for each unit or transaction.
4. Allocate costs to the marketing or administration activity by
multiplying the cost driver rate by the volume of cost driver units
consumed by that activity.
