Activity-Based Costing (ABC) assigns overhead costs to products based on activities performed
Identifies cost drivers related to specific activities
Allocates costs more accurately than traditional volume-based methods
Improves decision-making by providing detailed cost information
simplifies the traditional ABC approach
Uses time equations to estimate resource demands for each activity
Reduces implementation complexity and maintenance costs
Provides more flexibility in handling variations in activities
Both methods help managers understand cost behavior and identify improvement opportunities
