WHAT’S WHAT OF ABC ? The activity is the work that is done. The resource is what the activity uses to do the work. The cost of the activity depends on the quantity of resources used to accomplish the activity. The cost driver for an activity is the factor that influ the amount of the resources that will be consu activity. The activity driver measures how much of, used by the cost object. The cost object is whatever it is you wish to cost be a product, service, process, job or customer. ¢ N : a, RY Scanned by CamScanner Scanned with CamScanner Activity Based Costing (ABC) ABC isa ABC is designed to “good Sipplement provide managers with to our traditional a cost information for ey strategic and other decisions that potentially affect capacity and therefore affect fixed as well as variable costs. 2 \asreg, ) Merton Scanned by CamScanner Scanned with CamScanner How Costs are Treated Under Activity—-Based Costing a Traditional Costing The predetermined overhead rate is based on budgeted activity.
