Time Driven Activity Based Costing Executive Summary Heryzin Baskerville National Graduate School of Quality Management Robert Kaplan introduced Activity Based Costing (ABC) in the late 1980s. It can be considered as the modern alternative to absorption costing, and allowing managers to better understand product and customer net profitability.

subsidizing another. ABC is based on George Staubus' Activity Costing and Input-Output Accounting.[4] The concepts of ABC were developed in the manufacturing sector of the United States during the 1970s and 1980s. During this time, the Consortium for Advanced Management-International, now known simply as CAM-I, provided a formative role for studying and formalizing the principles that have become more formally known as Activity-Based Costing.[5] Robin Cooper and Robert S. Kaplan, proponents of the

designed the activity based costing (ABC) method in 1988. It was felt that there was a need for more accurate and up-to-date information and a more proactive approach to planning and managing the costs. ABC is a process to identify the costs of all activities and allocating, applying, assigning or tracing costs to products. Activity based costing is a costing technique, tool, system, mechanism or approach. It may be used in addition to the current traditional system or used in place of it. This

1. Using the information in the case, design an activity-based costing system and estimate product costs and gross margin percentages for valves, pumps and flow controllers. Justify your reasons for your ABC system design and computations. As per the ABC costing system, the 5 overhead cost drivers that can be identified are: A. Product Sustaining Activity Costs (i) Engineering Costs B. Batch Activity Costs (i) Receiving & Production Costs (ii) Setup Labor Costs (iii) Packaging & Shipping

Aerotech's Phoenix Plant, changes were needed to be implemented on the cost management system. Aerotech's corporations management was being misled by the traditional product-costing system, because the high-volume product lines were being over-costed and the low product line was being under-costed. The high-volume products essentially were subsidizing the low-volume line. The traditional product costing system failed to show that the low-volume products were driving more than their share of overhead
