Changes in Manufacturingand Business
Recent changes in manufacturing and business environments, such as:
1. advances in manufacturing technology2. changes in the competitive environment3. expansions in product diversity4. increases in factory overhead amounts and
categories
have made traditional volume-based costing systems unreliable and inaccurate

Single Plant-wide Overhead Rate
A plantwide overhead rate assumes that all products or services benefit from or consume overhead costs in proportion to the quantity of the chosen activity (driver) for applying overhead

Volume, Size, and Complexity
The traditional volume-based costing system may provide reasonably accurate costs when a firm’s operation possess the following characteristics:
1. Few and very similar products and service lines2. Relatively low overhead expenses3. Homogeneous conversion processes for all products or
services4. Similar distribution channels, customer demands, and
customers

Volume, Size, and Complexity
A traditional volume-based overhead costing system, whether plantwide or departmental, often leads to inaccurate product costs (especially for firms with complex manufacturing operations)
Distortions of volume-based overhead cost systems increase as product diversity increases
Inaccurate cost information can lead to undesirable strategic results, such as wrong product-line decisions, unrealistic pricing, and ineffective resource allocations

Activity-Based Costing
An activity is an action or an aggregation of actions performed within an organization
A resource is an economic element needed or consumed in performing activities
A resource consumption cost driver is an activity or characteristic that consumes resources
An activity consumption cost driver measures how much of an activity a cost object uses

Activity-Based Costing
A two-stage cost assignment assigns factory overhead costs to activity centers or cost pools and then to costs objects
Activity-based systems differ from traditional volume-based costing systems in two ways:
1. The ABC system defines cost pools as activities or activity centers rather than production plant or department cost centers
2. The cost drivers that the ABC system uses to assign activity costs to cost objects are drivers based on an activity or activities performed for the cost objects

Some costs may require allocations to departments and products based on arbitrary volume measures.
Some costs that can be identified with specific products are omitted.
Expensive to develop and implement; it is also very time-consuming.

Limitation of a Traditional Volume-based Costing System
One major limitation of a traditional volume-based costing system is that it tends to undercost complex low-volume products and overcost high-volume products
The ABC system presents a more accurate measurement of product costs by tracing overhead consumption
The preceding comparison shows that the traditional volume-based product costing system significantly undercosts AW and overcosts SZ

Cost driver analysis examines, quantifies, and explains the effects of the cost driver on the cost of an activity
A cause-and-effect diagram maps out causes that affect an activity, process, stated problem, or outcome
A Pareto analysis is a histogram of cost drivers that contribute to the total cost
Performance measurement identifies the work performed and the results achieved by an activity, process, or organizational unit
