    Activity Based Costing Method (ABC). ABC determines and allocates cost by activities a company executes. This generally happens in four steps: identify each activity and its associated costs, both total and indirect; estimated cost driver and quantity; allocation computation; and cost allocation to the respective activity. ABC refines the way indirect costs are allocated to production and focuses on the costs of each individual activity. Costs are also further assigned to each product within the activities and each activity has its own cost driver. Because of the specificity, active based costing provides a…

    Activity Based Costing is a costing tool that corporations use to identify costs that are associated with the production of an item. CarryAll Company produces specialtyand standard briefcases.

    Glaser Health Products of Ranier Falls, Georgia needs assistance in evaluating and classifying costs in order to implement an activity-based costing system. As stated in the case, these costs will be used for planning and control decisions rather than inventory valuation. The activity-based costing system will provide better allocation of Glaser’s overhead costs rather than a system to look at the cost drivers or the activities that their overhead costs comprise. Glaser’s general structure of an activity-based costing model should consist of cost objects, activities, consumption of resources, and cost.…

    Absorption based costing method (ABC) is used by companies to identify activities that it performs and then assigns direct and indirect costs to the product’s overall pricing. This method helps businesses determine the cost drivers that influence the product’s sales price by increase or decrease. ABC uses cost drivers, such as, direct labor, direct material along with transaction-based drivers. In this way, long-term variables overheads, traditionally considered fixed costs, can be traced to products (AICPA, 2014). The process used when applying the ABC method…

    Our overall aim is to introduce an efficient cost allocation method to improve pricing accuracy of products. This can be done by first; adopting activity based costing (ABC) method as suggested by Hampton instead of the existing simple costing method in the company. ABC recognizes the relationship between activities, cost and products which helps to allocate cost per unit to products more accurately. The main activities that run the business must be identified and analyzed to determine cost driver for each activity. We agree to the four major activities suggested by Hampton however, disagree on her cost allocation basis as it does not seem to be practical and accurate. For example, customer service cost should be allocated based on the number of call minutes instead of number of incoming customer calls as it is more accurate and as for the policy acquisition, the number of steps involved in processing…

    Sippican Corp

    Consider Sippican is a manufacturer company with multiple products, using simple cost accounting system that directly allocate factory overhead to unit of product entirely through one single allocation base (i.e. 185 % of production run direct labor cost in this case) is although an inexpensive way while is sometimes distort actual contribution of the product. To our understanding from reading the article, Sippican is spending more on overhead than on either direct material or direct labor. Further, Sippican has considerable diversity in its product mix. Each product may contain different degree of spending on indirect or supporting resources, and high variety on product and consumer characteristics. As such, activity-based cost system is considered to be a more accurate costing of present resource that will enable Sippican to project its future resource demands more effectively.…
