2、llocated to products using a volume-based predetermined overhead rate.,3,Product costs dont make sense,Problem: There may be no relationship between the overhead application base and the way that different products cause overhead costs The result: High-volume simple products are over- costed and ove

3、r-priced Low-volume complex products are under-costed and under-priced,4,Plantwide Overhead Rates,Companies have tended to use direct labour as the overhead application base. However direct labour is now a relatively minor part of total manufacturing cost. Many tasks that used to be done by hand are

7、en the cause of support activity costs and the basis for assigning these costs to products Why? 1. Allocations are based on unit or volumerelated measures. 2. Different products consume different amounts of support activities.,10,Questionable profit margins,To compete in the marketplace, some compan

8、ies have had to cut the prices of high volume popular items. But They have been able to achieve high mark-ups on low volume specialty products.,11,Erosion of company profits,Price cuts produce increased sales in units but decreased total revenue High mark-ups on specialty products didnt offset the f

9、all in profit margins of high volume products,12,Causes of problems,Increased product diversity changing cost structures use of volume-based cost drivers Have resulted in: distorted product costs,13,Solution: Activity Based Costing,ABC uses cost drivers that directly link activities performed to pro

10、ducts made. cost drivers are selected which measure the average demand placed on each activity by each product. activity cost pools are assigned to products in proportion to the way that they consume each activity.,14,Solution: Activity Based Costing,ACTIVITIES CONSUME RESOURCES PRODUCTS CONSUME ACT

11、IVITIES Activities are used to link resource costs to products,15,Activity Based Costing (ABC),The objective of activity-based costing is to understand the causes of overhead costs and to identify the real profitability of products and customers.,ABC is a good supplement to our traditional cost syst

16、Activities,22,Output Unit-Level Costs.,are resources sacrificed on activities performed on each individual unit of product or service e.g. Energy used by machines Machine depreciation or repairs The Key Question: Does the amount of the activity cost pool increase with the number of units produced?,2

17、3,Batch-Level Costs.,are resources sacrificed on activities that are related to a batch of units rather than to each individual unit of product or service. Set-up activity costs may be driven by set-up hours. This will depend on the number set-ups carried out i.e. on the number of batches produced a

18、nd the time each set-up takes.,24,Product-Sustaining.,(or service-sustaining) costs are resources sacrificed on activities undertaken to support individual products or services. Design costs may be driven by the time spent by engineers designing the product itself and planning how it will be made.,2

19、5,Facility-Sustaining Costs.,are resources sacrificed on activities that cannot be traced to individual products or services but which support the organization as a whole.

For this c

The companys activity cost pools are shown on the next slide.,28,Step 1: Identify and Define Activities and Activity Cost Pools,At Classic Brass,

22、 the ABC team, selected the following activity cost pools and activity measures:,29,Step 1: Identify and Define Activities and Activity Cost Pools,Customer Orders - assigned all costs of resources that are consumed by taking and processing customer orders. Product Designs - assigned all costs of res

23、ources consumed by designing products. Order Size - assigned all costs of resources consumed as a consequence of the number of units produced. Customer Relations assigned all costs associated with maintaining relations with customers. Other assigned all overhead costs that are not associated with th

Now the team can compute the individual activity rates by dividing the total cost for each activity by the total activity levels,39,Step 4: Calculate Activity Rates,After the first-stage allocation is complete, co

34、 volume-based cost drivers Conventional costing ignores batch size - units produced in large batches consume a relatively low amount per unit of batch costs ABC can include non-manufacturing costs,48,ABC benefits will be greatest where.,Overhead costs are a significant proportion of total cost, and

35、a large part of overhead is not directly related to production volume The business has a diverse product range, and the individual products use of support resources differs from their use of volume-based cost drivers,49,ABC benefits will be greatest where.,Production activity involves diverse batch
