Chapter 7
What Are Activities, and How Are They Identified?
• ActivityType of task or function performed in an
organization
• Activity Identification* Tracking the use of resources* Using the cost hierarchy* Grouping homogeneous costs
![Page 5: Chapter 7 Key Topics: –Traditional versus ABC systems –Activities and their identification –Cost hierarchy –ABC procedures –ABM –Benefits and costs of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051018/56649edc5503460f94bed4e1/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Chapter 7
Cost Hierarchy
• Organization-sustaining activities– Activities and costs associated with overall
organization (lease of headquarters office space, salary of CEO)
• Facility-sustaining activities– Activities and costs associated with single
manufacturing plant or service facility (property taxes, plant manager salary)
• Customer-sustaining activities– Activities and costs associated with a single
customer (costs of ordering and delivery)

Chapter 7
Cost Hierarchy
• Product-sustaining activities– Activities or costs associated with product line or
one single product (advertising, depreciation)
• Batch-level activities– Activities or costs associated with each batch of
product (set-up costs, electricity)
• Unit-level activities– Activities or costs associated with each unit
(indirect materials, indirect labor)

Chapter 7
ABC Procedures
1.Identify the relevant cost object
2.Identify activities
3.Assign (trace and allocate) costs to activity based cost pools
4.For each ABC cost pool, choose a cost driver
![Page 8: Chapter 7 Key Topics: –Traditional versus ABC systems –Activities and their identification –Cost hierarchy –ABC procedures –ABM –Benefits and costs of](https://reader034.vdocuments.us/reader034/viewer/2022051018/56649edc5503460f94bed4e1/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Chapter 7
ABC Procedures
5.For each ABC cost pool, calculate an allocation rate
Allocation Rate = Activity Cost/Volume of Cost Driver
6.For each ABC cost pool, allocate activity costs to the cost object
Allocation = Allocation Rate * Actual Volume of Activity

Chapter 7
Selection of Cost Drivers
• Need cause and effect relationship between cost driver and activity costs
• Requires judgment in choosing and evaluating potential cost drivers
• Examples

Chapter 7
What Is Activity Based Management (ABM)?
The process of using ABC information to evaluate the costs and benefits of production and internal support activities and to identify and implement opportunities for improvements in profitability, efficiency, and quality within an organization
