Activity-Based Costing Jobs

Activity-based costing (ABC) is a costing method that identifies activities in an organization and assigns the cost of each activity to all products and services according to the actual consumption by each. This model assigns more indirect costs (overhead) into direct costs compared to conventional costing. CIMA (Chartered Institute of Management Accountants) defines ABC as an approach to the costing and monitoring of activities which involves tracing resource consumption and costing final outputs. Resources are assigned to activities, and activities to cost objects based on consumption estima ... tes. The latter utilize cost drivers to attach activity costs to outputs. ICMAB (Institute of Cost & Management Accountants of Bangladesh) defines activity-based costing (ABC) as an accounting method that identifies the activities that a firm performs and then assigns indirect costs to cost objects.
