  1. Managerial Accounting: An Introduction To Concepts, Methods, And Uses Chapter 3 Activity-Based Management Maher, Stickney and Weil

  2. Learning Objectives(Slide 1 of 2) • Identify strategic and operational uses of activity-based management. • Differentiate between traditional cost allocation methods and activity-based costing. • Understand the concept of activity-based costing. • Identify the steps in activity-based costing.

  3. Learning Objectives(Slide 2 of 2) • Apply activity-based management and costing to marketing. • Use the cost hierarchy to organize cost information for decision-making. • Distinguish between resources used and resources supplied, and measure unused resource capacity. • Explain the difficulties of implementing advanced cost-management systems.

  4. Activity-based Costing & Management (ABCM) (Slide 1 of 4) • ABCM rests on this premise: • Products require activities • Activities consume resources • To understand a product’s costs, one must? • Identify activities required to make the product

  5. Activity-based Costing & Management (ABCM) (Slide 2 of 4) • Identify resources used to provide for those activities • Figure the cost of those resources • To be competitive, managers must know both: • Activities involved in making the goods or providing the services, and • The cost of those activities

  6. Activity-based Costing & Management (ABCM) (Slide 3 of 4) • ABCM has 2 parts: What are they?

  7. Activity-based Costing & Management (ABCM) • ABC treats mostly indirect costs including: • Overhead costs related to the manufacture of a product or providing a service • Indirect costs of marketing a product • Indirect costs of managing a company

  8. Discuss Strategic Uses of ABCM

  9. What are the 4 steps of activity analysis?

  10. Define Cost Pools

  11. Review the Value Chain

  12. Discuss the Analysis of Activities Cycle

  13. Discuss Traditional Allocation Methods

  14. Discuss Activity-Based Costing

  15. What are the required steps of activity-based costing?

  16. Cost Rates per Cost Driver Unit • Calculate predetermined cost rate for each cost driver as follows:

  17. Activity Category Capacity Customer Product Batch Unit Examples Plant Mgmt & Depr Mkt Research Product Specs & Testing Machine Setups Direct Materials Cost Hierarchies

  18. Resources Used Vs. Resources Supplied • ABC estimates cost of resources used by an activity as: Cost driver rate X cost driver volume • Cost of Resources supplied = amount spent on the activity • Difference between resources used and supplied is unused capacity
