About This Activity-Based Costing (Abc) Training Course in Laos
Activity-Based Costing (Abc) Course in Laos
Activity-based costing (ABC) is a method of cost accounting that has been mostly used by the manufacturing industry. This is because ABC takes into consideration the costs spent on the activities (or manufacturing) leading to the production of the product. This produces a more accurate assignation of true costs to the final products.

Questions
For example, the number of machine-hours is the cost driver that controls how much electricity is used and the cost of maintenance. Activity-based costing systems empower manufacturing companies to accurately designate overhead costs to specific products by using multiple cost drivers.
Activity-based costing (ABC) is a system of assigning overhead and indirect costs—such as salaries and utilities—to goods and services. The ABC system of cost accounting is calculated with the basis on activities, which can be any unit of work, event, or task with a particular goal.
Activity-based costing provides a more precise method of product/service costing, leading to more precise pricing decisions. ABC allows the practical testing of operating costs to find better ways of allocating and eliminating overheads. It also improves product and customer profitability analysis.
The business must solve for the cost of each overhead component on a per-activity-unit basis, which is the component cost apportioned by the activity volume, to designate the cost of each overhead component to a particular product.
These are the advantages of ABC:
Accurate Product Cost
Information about Cost Behaviour
Tracing of Activities for the Cost Object
Tracing of Overhead Costs
Better Decision Making
Cost Management
Use of Excess Capacity and Cost Reduction
Disadvantages of Activity-Based Costing are:
Collection and preparation of data are time-consuming.
Costs more to accumulate and analyse information.
Source data is not always easily available from the comprehensive accounting reports.
The five steps are as follows:
Identify expensive activities needed to create products.
Allocate overhead costs to the activities named in step 1.
Name the cost driver for each activity.
Calculate a planned overhead rate for each activity.
Allot the overhead costs to these products.
There are two primary stages in ABC— first, tracing costs to activities; second, tracing activities to products.
Activity-based costing is a costing method that recognises activities in an organisation and assigns the cost of each activity to all products or services according to the practical consumption of the products or services. This model assigns more indirect costs into direct costs compared to traditional costing.
Implementation Steps
Step #1: Activity Identification. First, identify activities and group them into activity pools.
Step #2: Activity Analysis.
Step #3: Assignment of Costs.
Step #4: Calculate Activity Rates.
Step #5: Assign Costs to Cost Objects.
Step #6: Prepare and Distribute Management Reports.
Activity-based costing (ABC) is widely used to precisely allocate indirect costs to medical services. In the ABC method, the indirect cost is divided among the medical services in proportion to the volume of "cost drivers", for example, labour hours and the number of hours of surgery.
Activity-based costing provides a more reliable method of product/service costing, leading to more precise pricing decisions. It improves the understanding of overheads and cost drivers; and makes costly and non-value adding activities more apparent, allowing managers to reduce or eliminate them.
Use product costing methods to assign a cost to a manufactured product. The main costing methods available are process costing, job costing and direct costing. Each of these methods applies to various production and decision environments. Job costing is the assignment of costs to a specific manufacturing job.
The essential formula for activity-based costing is the total cost pool divided by cost driver, giving the cost driver rate. Use the cost driver rate in activity-based costing to calculate the overhead and indirect costs of the particular activity.
Limitations of ABC
The information produced from an ABC system does not conform to recognised accounting standards, such as GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles), and can, therefore, only be used for internal reporting purposes.
What are three advantages of ABC over conventional volume-based allocation processes?
Ease of use
More detailed product costing
More efficient cost control
Other advantages include fewer allocation bases, ease of use, and a direct correlation to production volume.
Job order costing also gives managers the advantage of being able to keep track of individuals' and teams' performance in terms of cost-control, efficiency and productivity. A disadvantage of job order costing is that employees are required to track all materials and labour used during the job.
Activity-based costing systems, known as ABC systems in practice, are not compliant with generally accepted accounting principles. However, this does not mean that ABC systems are not useful. ABC systems provide valuable information for managerial decision-making.
One of the significant reasons that ABC is not compliant with GAAP is that ABC systems do not charge all manufacturing costs to products. Organisation-sustaining costs, such as expenses related to factory security, heating and air conditioning and building rent, will be incurred, notwithstanding the level of production.
ABC systems are more accurate than traditional costing systems. The reason is because they provide a more precise breakdown of indirect costs. Nevertheless, ABC systems are more complex and more costly to implement. The leap from traditional costing to ABC is difficult.
