What is a good response to? Activity-based costing (ABC) has transformed how organizations measure and manage costs by breaking overhead costs into cost pools based on activity (Kenton, 2024). ABC allocates overhead costs based on a particular activity instead of spreading it out evenly. This gives management clear information to determine which activities benefit the company and which may need to be altered or discontinued. An example of a company using ABC could be electrical costs. If the electrical costs fluctuate based on labor hours, management could use the labor hours as a cost driver. They could determine the cost driver rate by dividing the electric costs for the year by the annual labor hours. Once they determine the cost rate, they can multiply that by the electrical hours used for an activity to calculate the cost. In the example given, it would be pretty easy to implement; however, there are several overhead costs to calculate, which would require a lot of record-keeping,…
In process costing, physical inventories of work in process must be taken at the end of each accounting period. Ordinarily, all department heads are responsible for their own inventories, and the methods they use to determine such data are crude by comparison with procedures used for determining year end physical inventory. It is not unusual for a department head to estimate rather than count inventories is process. Consequently, figures are bound to save errors. Is this good practice or should more accurate methods be used, such as having inventory teams determine inventories?
